Did Anyone Win The Powerball? April 2 Winning Numbers And Monday’s New Jackpot
Saturday's Powerball drawing did not produce a grand prize winner for the estimated $223 million jackpot with a cash option of $142.4 million. The next drawing is Monday, with the jackpot climbing to an estimated $231 million, with a cash option of $147.5 million.
The winning lottery numbers drawn on Saturday night were 6, 28, 47, 58, 59, with a red Powerball pull of 18. The PowerPlay was 2X.
The $223 million jackpot was initially worth an estimated $222 million with a cash value of $140.5 million, but the value rose due to an increase in sales.
Along with no grand prize winners, there were no other instant millionaires that resulted from the night. If a player would have hit the Match 5, they would have $1 million.
If a player would have matched five numbers along with the Power Play, they would have taken home a $2 million prize.
Several smaller monetary prizes also resulted from the Saturday Powerball drawing. There were 14 players who hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball and won $50,000 each.
Meanwhile, there were five players who ended up matching four numbers plus the red Powerball with a 2X Power Play, winning $100,000.
The other monetary wins from the night ranged between $4 and $200. A total of 752,516 players won prizes from the Saturday jackpot.
The latest drawing comes after a player from Staten Island, New York, recently claimed a winning ticket for $1 million. The ticket was purchased at the Metro Mart NY, located inside the Staten Island Mall for the Jan. 24 lottery drawing. After tax withholdings, the player took home a total of $612,240.
Powerball jackpot winners must match the six numbers on their ticket to the drawn six-number combination. Five numbers need to be selected from 1 to 69 for the white balls, and a number is selected from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball.
There is a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the Powerball jackpot.
