Did Anyone Win The Powerball? Oct. 9 Winning Numbers, Monday’s New Jackpot
Saturday’s Powerball drawing did not produce a grand prize winner for the estimated $31 million jackpot with a cash option of $22 million.
The next drawing will take place on Monday and will see the jackpot climb to an estimated $38 million with a cash value of $26.5 million.
The winning lottery numbers drawn on Saturday night were 12, 17, 30, 45, 62, with a red Powerball pull of 5. The PowerPlay was 2X.
Along with the lack of a grand prize winner following the latest lottery drawing, there were no instant millionaires that resulted from the night.
If a player would have matched five numbers and they would have won a $1 million prize. Meanwhile, players who would have hit the Match 5 with the 2X Power Play would have won $2 million.
Although there were no million-dollar wins, several smaller monetary prizes resulted from the Saturday Powerball drawing. There were seven players who hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball and won $50,000 each.
However, only three players were able to match four numbers plus the red Powerball with a 2X Power Play and won $100,000. The rest of the prizes from the night ranged between $4 and $200.
The Saturday night drawing comes after the fifth-largest prize in Powerball history was won last week. A player from California hit the jackpot for $699.8 million with a cash option of $496 million.
Powerball jackpot winners can receive the grand prize through a one-time lump sum payment or an annuity. Players who select the annuity receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments, which increase by 5% each year.
Powerball is played in 45 states, including Washington, D.C., as well as Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
