Did Anyone Win Monday's Powerball? Jan. 16 Winning Numbers And Wednesday's New Jackpot
The Monday Powerball drawing did not produce a winner for the jackpot, which was worth an estimated $416 million with a $224.9 million cash option.
The winning numbers for Wednesday night's drawing were 4, 14, 33, 39, and 61, with a red Powerball of 3. The Power Play was 3X.
The Powerball continues to roll after the Mega Millions jackpot was finally won by a ticket holder in Maine. Following 26 consecutive jackpot drawings, a player won the $1.348 billion grand prize with a cash value of $723.5 million.
The next Powerball drawing will be held on Wednesday. The jackpot will climb to $439 million with a $237.3 million cash option.
Although there were no grand prize winners, one player became an instant millionaire. A ticket holder from Texas hit the Match 5, winning $1 million. If the player used a Power Play, they would have increased their prize to $2 million.
The latest jackpot comes after a player in South Carolina claimed a $200,000 prize. The winning ticket was purchased at a Speedway in Greenville for the Oct. 24 drawing.
The woman hit the Match 4 plus the red Powerball with the 4X Power Play, which increased her $50,000 prize to $200,000.
Powerball jackpot winners can receive their prize through a lump sum payment or an annuity, which includes one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.
Powerball tickets are available for purchase in participating territories for $2 each. Drawings for the game are held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays and can be viewed on local networks.
The odds of winning the Powerball are 1 in 292,201,338.
