The Powerball drawing on Saturday did not result in any grand prize winners, but there were plenty of smaller prizes won as the unclaimed jackpot grew to an estimated $187 million.
The winning lottery numbers drawn on Saturday night were 4, 17, 57, 58, 68, with a red Powerball pull of 12. The PowerPlay was 3X.
Although there was no grand prize winner for the $178.8 million jackpot, there was one instant millionaire. A player from Delaware hit the Match 5 and won $1 million. If the player would have hit the Match 5 with the 3X Power Play, they would have won $2 million.
There were 19 players that hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball, winning $50,000 each. Meanwhile, only two players were able to hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball with the 3X Power Play, winning $150,000 apiece.
Other prizes from the night ranged from $4 to $300. A total of 1,079,149 players won prizes from the jackpot.
On Saturday, the unclaimed jackpot was worth an estimated $178.8 million with a cash option of $105.7 million. The Monday Powerball jackpot will be worth an estimated $187 million with a cash value of $110.6 million.
The latest drawing comes after a player in Illinois won the Mega Millions jackpot for $1.337 billion with a cash value of $780.5 million. The win from the Friday drawing marked the second-largest jackpot in Mega Millions history.
This is the first time the jackpot has been won since April 15, when a player from Tennessee won $20 million.
Powerball jackpot winners must match the six numbers on their ticket to the drawn six-number combination. Five numbers must be selected from 1 to 69 for the white balls, and a number is selected from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball.
There is a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the Powerball jackpot. Powerball drawings take place on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
