Did Anyone Win Saturday’s Powerball? March 5 Winning Numbers And Monday’s Jackpot
There was no grand prize winner in Saturday's Powerball drawing, as players missed out on a jackpot that was worth an estimated $85 million, with a cash option of $56.6 million.
The winning lottery numbers drawn on March 5 were 8, 23, 37, 52, 63. The Powerball number was 13 with a Power Play 2X.
Since the jackpot went unclaimed, Monday night's jackpot will grow to an estimated $90 million with a cash payout of $61.7 million.
Even though none of the ticket holders won the jackpot, two players managed to become instant millionaires following the latest Powerball drawing. A player from Arizona and another from Florida hit the Match 5 and won $1 million each.
The players missed out on the chance to bump their winnings up to $2 million by hitting the Match 4 with a Power Play.
The two players weren’t the only winners from the night. Other ticket holders were able to snag smaller monetary prizes.
Nine players matched the four white-ball numbers and the red Powerball, winning $50,000. Meanwhile, only two players hit the Match 4 and the red Powerball, winning $100,000 due to a Power Play purchase.
The rest of the prizes from the night ranged between $4 and $200. In total, 534,197 players won in the latest lottery drawing.
The Powerball costs $2 per play. To win the jackpot, a player must match the six numbers on their ticket 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.
