Chicago, IL – The Powerball jackpot has skyrocketed to $50 million for the upcoming drawing on Saturday, September 13. This surge follows the absence of any top prize winners in the latest drawing held on Wednesday, September 10. Players who manage to match all five numbers plus the Powerball will have the opportunity to choose between a multi-million-dollar jackpot or a one-time cash option of $23.4 million before taxes.
In the recent drawing on September 10, no jackpot winners were reported, but significant prizes were still claimed. Notably, there were no winners of the Match 5 + Power Play prize, which is worth $2 million. However, four players from California, Iowa, Massachusetts, and Maryland each secured the Match 5 prize, taking home $1 million.
The excitement doesn’t stop there; the next Powerball drawing is slated for Monday, September 15, at 11 p.m. ET. Players can purchase tickets for $2 at various locations, including convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores; some states even allow online purchases. The ticket requires players to choose six numbers: five white balls ranging from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball from 1 to 26.
Game Features
For those looking to enhance their winning potential, a Power Play option can be added for an extra $1. This allows for prize multipliers that can increase non-jackpot wins by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or even 10X. Players who prefer a quick and random approach can opt for the “Quick Pick” feature, wherein a computer generates the numbers.
