Did Anyone Win Wednesday's Powerball? Jan. 25 Winning Numbers And Saturday's New Jackpot
The Wednesday Powerball drawing did not yield a winner for the jackpot, which grew to $530.1 million after previously being estimated at $526 million.
The winning numbers for Wednesday night's drawing were 9, 17, 20, 38, and 40, with a red Powerball of 18. The Power Play was 2X. The cash value would have been $286.2 million.
The jackpot continues to go unclaimed after the last jackpot worth $92.2 million was won on Nov. 19, 2022, by a player in Kansas.
The next drawing will be held on Saturday and the jackpot will grow to $572 million with a $308.9 million cash option.
Following the latest Powerball drawing, there were no instant millionaires. Players lucky enough to hit the Match 5 would have won a $1 million prize. If a ticket holder hit the Match 5 with the Power Play, they could have increased the prize to $2 million.
Thirteen players hit the Match 4 plus the red Powerball with the 2X Power Play, winning $100,000 each. Meanwhile, 13 players won $50,000 by matching four white balls and the Powerball.
The latest jackpot comes after a player in Indiana scored a $50,000 prize. The winning ticket was purchased at Village Pantry in Plainfield for the Monday drawing.
Powerball jackpot winners must match the six numbers on their ticket to the drawn six-number combination.
Five numbers are selected from 1 to 69 for the white balls, and a number is selected from 1 to 26 for the red 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% every year.
The odds of winning the Powerball are 1 in 292,201,338.
