Did Anyone Win The Powerball? Aug. 14 Winning Numbers And Wednesday’s New Jackpot
The Powerball drawing on Saturday did not yield any grand prize winners, as the jackpot has grown to an estimated $274 million.
The winning lottery numbers drawn on Saturday night were 6, 21, 49, 65, 67, with a red Powerball pull of 18. The PowerPlay was 2X. There were no winners for the $258 million jackpot, but there was one player who became an instant millionaire.
Following the latest Powerball drawing, a player from Maryland won $1 million by hitting the Match 5. If the player would have hit the Match 5 with a Power Play, they could have won $2 million.
A total of 20 players won the Match 4 plus Powerball, winning $50,000. Seven players won the Match 4 plus Powerball with 2X PowerPlay, winning $100,000 each. Other players won prizes ranging from $4 to $200.
On Saturday, the jackpot was estimated at $258 million, with a cash option of $187.4 million. The next Powerball drawing will take place on Wednesday and be worth an estimated $274 million with a cash value of $197.7 million.
The latest drawing comes amid news a Mega Millions player from South Carolina managed to beat the odds and win the lottery twice in a matter of weeks. The lottery player won a $40,000 prize on July 16 and later claimed a $3 million prize on July 27.
“The odds of winning $40,000 playing Mega Millions are 1 in 931,001, and the odds of winning $3 million are about 1 in 13 million,” the South Carolina Education Lottery said in a statement.
