Lottery fans may have been saving up for the festive spending season, but a lucky lotto player no longer needs to worry about budgeting, as the fortunate enthusiast has landed a $59.9 million jackpot.

One lottery ticket sold in Pennsylvania matched all six numbers drawn in Saturday’s (November 19th) game – making the owner of the slip incredibly wealthy in time for Black Friday, the shopping day that follows Thanksgiving in the US.

The lotto fan must be incredibly thankful that lady luck was smiling on them that particular day.

Furthermore, two fortunate lottery players from Iowa and New Jersey also picked five numbers correctly on their ticket as well as the Power Play option, only missing out on the Powerball, which entitles them to a $1 million windfall just in time for the festive season thanks to selecting the Power Play feature – which multiplies second prizes five times.

Another three USA Powerball fans picked all five numbers correctly without the Power Play, making two Florida ticketholders and one lottery lover from New Mexico $200,000 wealthier.

There is still time for lottery enthusiasts to scoop a jackpot in time for Thanksgiving and the Black Friday shopping spree that follows in the US, as tomorrow’s (November 23rd) USA Powerball jackpot is estimated to be worth $20 million.

Fans of TheLotter can play online Powerball at the site.

The game is currently ranked as offering one of the most impressive top prizes in the world.
