Despite there being no jackpot winner in Saturday’s Powerball drawing, a Florida ticket won a $1 million prize for matching all five white balls.
The Powerball jackpot rolled after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn – white balls 6, 23, 25, 34, 51 and red Powerball 3. The Power Play multiplier was 2X.
Five tickets matched all five white balls and won $1 million prizes. Other than the Florida winner, the $1 million-winning tickets were sold in California, Indiana, Texas and Washington. More than 1.9 million tickets won cash prizes in Saturday’s Powerball drawing.
Other big wins from Saturday’s Powerball drawing include 38 tickets that won $50,000 prizes and 14 tickets that won $100,000 prizes.
In the Double Play drawing, a ticket in Colorado matched all five black balls drawn and won a $500,000 prize. The winning Double Play numbers were black balls 18, 24, 43, 46, 47 and Powerball 11.
Double Play is an add-on feature that gives players in select jurisdictions another chance to match their Powerball numbers in a separate drawing with a top cash prize of $10 million. Players can add the Double Play feature to their Powerball ticket for an additional $1 per play. Double Play drawings are held after Powerball drawings every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
The next opportunity to play for the growing Powerball jackpot is Monday night. If a player wins the jackpot in Monday’s drawing, they will have the choice between an annuitized prize worth an estimated $800 million or a lump sum payment estimated at $384.8 million. Both prize options are before taxes. If the winner selects the annuity option, they will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5-percent each year.
This is the second advertised Powerball jackpot to reach $800 million this year. The Powerball jackpot was last won on January 1, 2024, by a ticket in Michigan that won a prize worth $842.4 million. Since then, there have been 35 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner. Monday’s drawing will be the 36th drawing in the jackpot run.
Powerball tickets are $2 per play. Tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Powerball drawings are broadcast live every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
