Did Anyone Win Wednesday’s Powerball? Feb. 23 Winning Numbers And Saturday’s Jackpot
The Powerball drawing on Wednesday night did not yield any grand prize winners for the estimated $45 million jackpot with a cash option of $30.1 million.
The next drawing will take place on Saturday, which means the jackpot will grow to an estimated $58 million with a $38.8 million cash value.
The winning lottery numbers drawn on Wednesday, Feb. 23, were 6, 17, 21, 35, 64 with a red Powerball of 18. The Power Play was 2X.
There were no grand prize winners or instant millionaires following the latest drawing. If players would have hit the Match 5, they would have won a $1 million prize.
Meanwhile, players who would have matched five numbers with a Power Play purchase would have won $2 million.
Despite the lack of million-dollar wins, several players managed to snag smaller monetary prizes. There were five people who hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball and won $50,000.
However, only one player hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball with a Power Play and won $100,000. The rest of the monetary winnings from the night ranged between $4 and $200.
The latest Powerball drawing comes after a woman from Israel won a $1 million prize after purchasing a ticket in Florida.
Evelyne Hamama, 53, hit the Match 5 in the Jan. 22 drawing after buying a ticket at a Coconut Creek Shell in Broward County.
The Powerball costs $2 per play. To become a jackpot winner, 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.
