Did Anyone Win The Powerball? Sept. 11 Winning Numbers, Monday’s New Jackpot
Saturday's Powerball drawing did not produce a grand prize winner for the estimated $409 million jackpot with a cash option of $295.7 million. The next drawing is Monday, with the jackpot climbing to an estimated $416 million, with a cash option of $301.9 million.
The winning lottery numbers drawn on Saturday night were 20, 31, 38, 40, 49, with a red Powerball pull of 21. The PowerPlay was 2X.
The $416 billion jackpot is still well below the drawing on January 13, 2016, which was worth $1.58 billion.
While there wasn't a grand-prize winner on Saturday, there was one instant millionaire. A player in Pennsylvania hit the Match 5 with the 2X Power Play won $2 million. There were no players who only matched five numbers, which would have resulted in a $1 million prize.
Several smaller monetary prizes also resulted from the Saturday Powerball drawing. There were 16 players who hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball and won $50,000 each.
Meanwhile, there were four 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 latest lottery drawing ranged between $4 and $200.
Powerball jackpot winners can receive the grand prize through a one-time lump sum payment (the cash option) 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.
