The Powerball jackpot evaded players Saturday night after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn – white balls 30, 36, 49, 52, 63 and red Powerball 16 – but one ticket sold in Florida matched all five white balls to win $1 million prize.
In total, two tickets sold in Florida and New York won $1 million, and one ticket in Ohio matched all five white balls and increased the $1 million to $2 million by including the Power Play multiplier for an additional dollar.
The Powerball numbers drawn Saturday night were: white balls 30, 36, 49, 52, 63 and red Powerball 16. The Power Play multiplier 5X.
In the Double Play drawing, a ticket in Florida matched the first five numbers drawn to win a $500,000 prize. 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.

Powerball drawings are broadcast live every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. Powerball drawings are also live streamed on Powerball.com.
The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
There were no jackpot winners in the March 11th drawing, and only one ticket in Virginia won $1 million on Monday night.
