Did Anyone Win The Powerball? Oct. 16 Winning Numbers And Monday’s New Jackpot
The Powerball drawing on Saturday night did not yield a grand prize winner for the estimated $60 million jackpot with a cash value of $41.8 million.
The next drawing will take place on Monday and will see the jackpot grow to an estimated $65 million with a cash option of $46 million.
The winning lottery numbers drawn on Saturday, Oct. 16, were 30, 31, 41, 42, 48, with a red Powerball of 3. The Power Play was 3X.
Along with there being no grand prize winner for the latest jackpot, there were no players who became instant millionaires following the Saturday night drawing.
If players would have managed to match five numbers they would have won a $1 million prize. Meanwhile, players who would have hit the Match 5 with the 3X power Play would have won $2 million.
Despite the lack of millionaires, there were several smaller monetary prizes that resulted from the night.
There were 12 players who hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball and won $50,000 each. However, only two players were able to match four numbers plus the red Powerball with the 3X Power Play, winning $150,000.
The rest of the winnings from the latest lottery drawing ranged between $4 and $1,500.
Powerball winners can choose between receiving their winnings through a one-time lump sum payment or an annuity. Players who select the annuity receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% every year.
Powerball can be played in 45 states, including Washington, D.C., as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
