Did Anyone Win Monday's Powerball? Jan. 30 Winning Numbers And Wednesday's New Jackpot
The Powerball jackpot will continue to grow after the Monday night drawing did not yield a winner for the estimated $613 million grand prize, with a $329 million cash option.
If a player had hit the latest jackpot, it would have been the ninth-largest grand prize in the game's history. Wednesday night's jackpot will grow to an estimated $653 million with a $350.5 million cash value.
The winning numbers drawn on Monday were 1, 4, 12, 36, and 49. The Powerball was 5. The Power Play was 2X.
In Monday's drawing, a player in California hit the Match 5 and won $1 million. If the ticket-holder had matched five numbers with the additional purchase of a Power Play, they would have won a $2 million prize.
There were also several smaller wins that resulted from the latest lottery game. Eight players won $150,000 by hitting the Match 4 plus the red Powerball with the Power Player.
Meanwhile, 29 players won $50,000 by matching four white balls and the Powerball. The rest of the prizes from the night ranged between $4 and $200.
A total of seven jackpots were won last year, including the world's largest prize for $2.04 billion that was hit by a single ticket on Nov. 7, 2022, in California.
A Powerball ticket costs $2. The odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 292.2 million.
To win the jackpot, a player's ticket must match the numbers for five white balls and the red Powerball to the number combination drawn.
Drawings are held Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Powerball can be played in 45 states, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
