Powerball jackpot climbs to $1.6 billion after no big winner in Saturday’s drawing
A Powerball play slip is seen at a store in Nashville on Wednesday.
(CNN) — The Powerball jackpot is up to an estimated $1.6 billion after there were no big winners in Saturday night’s drawing.
The winning numbers Saturday were 4, 5, 28, 52 and 69, with red Powerball 20.
The jackpot for the next drawing – on Monday night – is the fourth largest in the Powerball game and the fifth largest among US lottery jackpots, according to a Saturday news release.
“Powerball is giving players a chance to dream bigger than ever this holiday season,” said Matt Strawn, Powerball Product Group Chair and Iowa Lottery CEO.
“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.”
If a player hits the jackpot Monday, they can choose between an annuitized prize estimated at $1.6 billion or a lump sum payment estimated at $735.3 million.
While no one won the grand prize Saturday, tickets sold in California, Florida, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Ohio matched all five white balls to win $1 million, Powerball said.
Saturday’s drawing also produced 112 tickets that won $50,000 prizes and 22 tickets that won $150,000 prizes, according to the news release.
A ticket in New Jersey won a $500,000 prize after matching all five black balls in a Double Play drawing, Powerball said. Double Play is a $1 add-on feature that lets players replay their Powerball numbers in a separate drawing for a chance to win up to $10 million.
Saturday’s drawing marks the second time the game has produced back-to-back jackpots exceeding $1 billion, with the first being in 2023, Powerball said.
The odds of winning the Powerball’s jackpot are 1 out of 292.2 million, though the odds are better for smaller cash prizes, some as low as $4.
The Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET.
