August 2007 Roundup
There was no Powerball jackpot winner in Oklahoma during August 2007 however there was one really big winner. Nita Jacobs, a retired horse trainer from Sallisaw, OK won $600,000 in the August 25th Powerball drawing. There were several other big winners including a $50,000 winner on August 1st, $20,000 winners on August 4th and 15th and $10,000 winners on August 8th and 11th. There were only three Powerball drawings in August that did not include at least one $10,000 winning ticket sold in Oklahoma.
The drought of Cash 5 jackpot winners continued during August, there has not been one since May 8th. The biggest single wins being $500 but there were several of them. The best night for Oklahoma Cash 5 players was August 21st when cash winnings totaled $28,290. The second best night was August 28th when the cash winnings totaled $19,890. The worst nights for Cash 5 players were August 14th with cash winnings of $11,680 and the second worst night was August 25th with $13,450 in cash winnings. The average nightly cash winnings for Cash 5 players for the month of August was $16,589 which is a marked improvement over July and June averages.
Pick 3 players had one of their best months ever with three nights with cash winnings totaling over $20,000. These were August 10th with $20,940, August 20th with $20,580 and August 22nd with $20,230. The worst nights for Pick 3 players were August 5th with $4,430 and August 30th with $4,540. The average nightly cash winnings for Pick 3 players for the month of August was $11,231 which is about $3,000 better than July and June averages.
Undoubtedly the higher average wins in August for both Cash 5 and Pick 3 can in part be attributed to “Powerball Fever”, as throughout the month of August the Powerball jackpot crept up through the $200 million range and into the $300 million range. When the Powerball jackpot gets that big sales of tickets for all lottery games increases and as ticket sales increase so do the number of winners and with that the increased nightly averages.
