(AsiaGameHub) – A new Powerball jackpot cycle has recently commenced, presenting players with another opportunity to win a substantial sum. The game’s top prize has remained unclaimed through three drawings and has now surpassed the $50 million threshold.
The Jackpot Survived a Third Drawing
The Monday Powerball drawing offered little excitement as no major prizes were awarded, despite the presence of the 3x Power Play modifier. In addition to the jackpot going unclaimed, players did not win any Match 5 prizes, meaning there was no seven-figure payout from this drawing.
The winning numbers for the April 13 drawing were 38, 43, 59, 63, and 64, along with the red Powerball 15. Matching all of these numbers would have resulted in a $47 million prize for a hypothetical winner. The cash value of the April 13 jackpot was $21.3 million.
As previously stated, no one matched the five white balls without the Powerball to claim the game’s second-tier prize of $1 million ($2 million with Power Play). Concurrently, five players matched four white balls and the Powerball, each winning $50,000, though none had the Power Play active to increase their winnings to $150,000.
The Powerball prize has now grown to $58 million for the upcoming drawing, scheduled for this Wednesday. A potential winner would have the choice between the annuity option for the full amount or a one-time lump-sum payment of $26.4 million.
Saturday Drawing Awarded $2.2M to Californian
The preceding Powerball drawing also failed to produce a grand prize winner. However, a player from California came close by matching all five white balls but not the Powerball. This resulted in a Match 5 prize of $1 million, which, according to California’s pari-mutuel lottery rules, amounts to $2.2 million for the winner.
The most recent Powerball jackpot was won just a few drawings prior when a fortunate player in Delaware secured $231 million. That same drawing also saw a Texan win a $2 million Match 5 prize due to having the Power Play feature activated.
