Did Anyone Win The Powerball? May 25 Winning Numbers And Saturday’s New Jackpot
The Powerball drawing on Wednesday night did not yield a grand-prize winner for the estimated $136.3 million jackpot with a cash value of $80 million.
The next drawing will take place on Saturday, with the jackpot climbing to an estimated $150 million with an $88 million cash option.
The winning lottery numbers drawn on Wednesday, May 25, were 19, 28, 39, 42, 57, with a red Powerball of 17. The Power Play was 3X.
Although no players won the grand prize, one managed to become an instant millionaire. A player in Connecticut hit the Match 5 with the Power Play and won $2 million. If the player had matched only the five white numbers without the Power Play, they would have won a prize of $1 million.
Along with the lone instant millionaire of the night, there were still several smaller monetary prizes that resulted from the Wednesday Powerball drawing. Seven players hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball and won $50,000 each.
Meanwhile, three ticket holders hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball with a Power Play and won $150,000 apiece. The rest of the winnings from the latest lottery drawing ranged between $4 and $300. A total of 393,642 players won prizes from the Wednesday night drawing.
The latest jackpot comes as a $1,675,676 winning ticket is set to expire on Thursday in California. The winning ticket was purchased at Lichine’s Liquor & Deli in Sacramento for the Nov. 27, 2021 drawing. In California, Powerball winners who match five numbers have 180 days to claim their prize.
Jackpot winners need to match the six numbers on their ticket to the drawn six-number combination. Five numbers must be selected from 1 to 69 for the white balls, and one 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.
