Along with no grand prizes winners, there were no instant millionaires following the latest drawing. If a player would have hit the Match 5, they would have won $1 million. However, if a player would have hit the Match 5 using the Megaplier, they could have tripled their winnings and won $3 million.

Despite the lack of instant millionaires, a few players managed to score smaller monetary prizes.

Six people hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball and won $50,000 apiece. Meanwhile, only one player managed to win $150,000 after hitting the Match 4 plus red Powerball with a Power Play purchase. The rest of the monetary winnings from the night ranged between $4 and $300.

The latest Powerball drawing comes after the New York lottery announced a second-place ticket for $1 million was sold in Staten Island. The player managed to match four numbers plus the red Powerball after purchasing the ticket at the Metro Mart NY Inc. The prize has yet to be claimed.

To become a jackpot winner, a player needs to match the six numbers on their ticket to the drawn six-number combination. Five numbers are chosen from 1 to 69 for the white balls, and a number is selected from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball.

The Powerball costs $2 per play. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
