Did Anyone Win Wednesday's Powerball? Feb. 8 Winning Numbers And Saturday's New Jackpot
The Wednesday Powerball drawing did not have a grand prize winner for the $20 million jackpot, which featured a $10.8 million cash value.
The winning numbers drawn were 52, 58, 59, 64, and 66. The Powerball was 9, and the Power Play was 2X.
The jackpot will now grow to an estimated $34 million with a cash option estimated at $18.3 million for the Saturday drawing.
Along with no jackpot winners, there also were no instant millionaires following the latest lottery drawing. Ticket-holders would have scored $1 million by hitting the Match 5. If a player matched five numbers with the Power Play, they could have increased the prize to $2 million.
Only one ticket-holder managed to hit the Match 4 plus the red Powerball with the 2X Power Play, winning a $100,000 prize. Meanwhile, five players won $50,000 by matching four white balls and the Powerball.
Earlier this week, a player from Washington won the $754.6 million Powerball jackpot with a $407.2 million cash prize. The win marked the fifth-largest jackpot in the game's history and the ninth-largest in the nation.
The Powerball jackpot previously eluded players since last November but finally saw a winner on Monday night following 34 drawings.
Powerball tickets are $2 per play. Powerball jackpot winners can receive their prize through a lump sum payment or an annuity, which includes one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.
The game can be played in 45 states, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
The odds of winning the Powerball are 1 in 292,201,338.
