Did Anyone Win Saturday's Powerball? Sept. 17 Winning Numbers And Monday's New Jackpot
The Powerball drawing Saturday did not produce a grand-prize winner for the $228 million jackpot. However, several players were able to snag smaller monetary prizes from the weekend drawing.
The winning lottery numbers drawn on Sept. 17 were 5, 25, 36, 51, 61, with a red Powerball of 1. The Power Play was 3X.
Although no one hit the jackpot, which had a cash value of $122.8 million, one player was still able to become an instant millionaire.
A player from California hit the Match 5 and won a $1 million prize. If the player would have hit the Match 5 along with a Power Play purchase, they would have won $2 million.
Other people were also lucky enough to snag six-figure prizes. In the latest jackpot drawing, two people hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball with a Power Play, winning $150,000 apiece. Meanwhile, there were eight Match 4 plus red Powerball winners, who won $50,000 each.
Other players won prizes between $4 to $300 following the drawing. A total of 545,923 players won prizes from the latest jackpot game.
Since there were no grand prize winners from the Saturday night drawing, the jackpot has now grown to $238 million with a cash value of $128.2 million. The next lottery drawing will take place on Monday evening.
The latest Powerball game comes after a player in Massachusetts won a $1 million prize from the Wednesday drawing. The ticket was purchased at a Market Basket in Lowell and matched five numbers.
Powerball jackpot winners must match the six numbers on their ticket to the drawn six-number combination.
Five numbers must be selected from 1 to 69 for the white balls, and a number is selected from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball.
There is a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the Powerball jackpot. Powerball drawings take place on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
