Did Anyone Win Wednesday's Powerball? Jan. 18 Winning Numbers And Saturday's New Jackpot
The Powerball jackpot will continue to climb after the Wednesday drawing did not result in any winners for the $439 million grand prize. The cash option was $237.3 million.
The winning numbers for the Wednesday drawing were 6, 15, 22, 42, and 47, with a red Powerball of 26. The Power Play was 3X.
The next drawing will be held on Saturday night and feature a jackpot worth an estimated $473 million with a $255.7 million cash value.
No one has won the Powerball jackpot since Nov. 19, when the $92.2 million grand prize was won by a player in Kansas.
Along with no grand prize winners, no instant millionaires were produced in the latest lottery drawing. Players who had hit the Match 5 would have won $1 million. If a ticket holder had matched five numbers with a Power Play, they would have won $2 million.
The latest jackpot comes after a ticket holder in Texas won $1 million from the Monday Powerball drawing. The winning ticket was purchased at a Muchos 3 gas station in Austin.
The seven-figure prize came days ahead of another Mega Millions jackpot win. A Maine resident won $1.35 billion on Friday, which marked the second-largest amount in the lottery's history.
Less than a week later, a New York ticket holder won the $20 million Mega Millions jackpot.
The odds of winning the Powerball are 1 in 292,201,338. The odds of winning the Mega Millions are 1 in 302,575,350.
