No Powerball winner in Saturday’s drawing; Jackpot grows to $1.6 billion
No ticket matched all six numbers drawn in Saturday night’s Powerball drawing. That means people still have a chance at the now $1.6 billion prize in Monday’s drawing.
Monday’s jackpot, according to Powerball, has an estimated cash value of $735.3 million. It’s the fourth largest prize in Powerball history and the fifth largest among U.S. lottery jackpots overall.
“Powerball is giving players a chance to dream bigger than ever this holiday season,” Matt Strawn, Powerball Product Group Chair and Iowa Lottery CEO, said in a statement. “Every ticket sold not only offers the chance at a life-changing prize but also supports important public programs and services in communities nationwide. We encourage everyone to enjoy the thrill responsibly.”
Numbers drawn on Saturday were white balls 4, 5, 28, 52 and 69 as well as red Powerball 20. The Power Play multiplier was 3.
Players who didn’t win the jackpot should still check their tickets, Powerball said, as some still won smaller cash prizes.
