Did Anyone Win Wednesday's Powerball? Dec. 21 Winning Numbers And Saturday's New Jackpot
There was no jackpot winner following the Wednesday Powerball drawing, which had a $170 million grand prize with a $91.5 million cash value.
The winning numbers drawn on Wednesday night were 12, 15, 24, 34, 59, with a red Powerball pull of 14. The Power Play was 2X.
Since the prize went unclaimed, the Saturday jackpot will be worth an estimated $186 million with a $100.1 million cash option.
No instant millionaires emerged from the latest lottery drawing. Players who hit the Match 5 would have won $1 million. If a ticket holder purchased the Power Play for an additional $1, they could have won $2 million.
Although there were no million-dollar wins on Wednesday evening, players across the country scored notable prizes. Six tickets hit the Match 4 plus the red Powerball, winning $50,000 each.
However, since none of those players purchased the 2X Power Play, they missed the chance to increase their prize to $100,000.
The other lottery prizes from the night ranged between $4 and $200.
The latest jackpot comes after a player in New Jersey won $50,000 in the Monday drawing. The third-tier prize was sold at a convenience store in Brick Township and matched four white balls and the red Powerball.
Powerball jackpot winners must match the six-number combination drawn by officials to the six numbers on their ticket. Five numbers from 1 to 69 are selected for the white balls, and a number is selected from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball.
Powerball tickets are $2 each. The drawings for the game take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays and can be viewed on local networks.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot is a 1 in 292.2 million chance.
