Did Anyone Win Saturday’s Powerball? Christmas Day's Winning Numbers And Monday's New Jackpot
There was no grand prize winner in Saturday night's Powerball drawing, which means the jackpot will continue to balloon. Powerball players will be hoping for a post-Christmas Day gift, as Monday's jackpot will grow to an estimated $416 million and has a cash value of $299.5 million.
The winning lottery numbers drawn on Dec. 25 were 27, 29, 45, 55, 58, with a red Powerball of 2. The Power Play was 3X.
The last time there was a grand-prize winner was Oct. 4, when a California man took the $699.5 million jackpot. The biggest grand prize of 2021 was on Jan. 20 when the jackpot reached $731.1 million.
To become a Powerball jackpot winner, a player must match the six numbers to the drawn six-number combination. Five numbers need to be selected from 1 to 69 for the white balls, and a number is selected from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. The Powerball, which is played three times a week, costs $2 per play.
There were only six jackpot prizes in 2021. The smallest jackpot amount was $23.2 million.
Only six states that don't participate in state lotteries: Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Mississippi, Nevada and Utah.
