Did Anyone Win Wednesday's Powerball? Jan. 11 Winning Numbers And Saturday's New Jackpot
There was no grand-prize winner following the Wednesday Powerball drawing, which featured a jackpot of $367.6 million after previously being estimated at $360 million.
The winning numbers for Wednesday night's drawing were 4, 8, 46, 47, and 48, with a red Powerball of 5. The Power Play was 3X.
The jackpot was last won on Nov. 19, 2022, when a ticket holder in Kansas scored the $92.2 million grand prize with a cash value of $47.3 million.
The next drawing will be held on Saturday. The jackpot will climb to $404 million with a $211.7 million cash option.
None of the players from Wednesday's drawing became instant millionaires. Ticket holders who had hit the Match 5 would have won a $1 million prize.
Two players hit the Match 4 plus the red Powerball with the 3X Power Play, winning $150,000 each. Meanwhile, 19 players won $50,000 by hitting the Match 4 with the Powerball.
The latest jackpot comes after a player in Missouri won a $2 million prize. The winning ticket was purchased at a FastLane in Laurie for the Saturday drawing.
Assuming the winner is a Missouri resident, they'll owe an estimated $580,000 in federal and state taxes on the lottery prize. The ticket holder is expected to walk away with approximately $1.42 million.
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 odds of winning the Powerball are 1 in 292,201,338.
