The winning numbers were 5, 18, 33, 43, 65, with a power play of X2. There were 427,844 winners in total, but nobody won the jackpot.
Therefore, the major prize will roll over to the next draw, where the jackpot will be $90 million. The jackpot is now at a 5x rollover.
Nobody won the second top prize of $1 million for matching five balls, either. However, three people won $100,000 each by matching four balls, plus the Powerball, with the power play. Fifteen people won $50,000 by matching four balls plus the power ball but didn’t use the powerplay.
There were also 65 winners of $200, who matched four balls with the power play, and 114 winners of $200 who matched three plus the power ball with the power play. Additionally, there were 222 winners of $100, who matched four balls, but not the power ball.
Powerball players can win big by matching numbers, even if they don’t claim the jackpot. There is a $1 million prize for matching 5, which is doubled with a power play of X2.
