The winning numbers were 4, 26, 66, 67, 69, and red Powerball 9.

“As much as we work as a managed service, it’s always a collaboration,” Wilson states. “We need to make sure that the operator and Splash are a partnership, we understand your requirements, and then we can go out and deliver that for you.”
