Did anyone win the powerball? – 10/30/24
The Powerball jackpot reached the estimated amount of $54 million, despite the fact that not one person matched all six numbers in Wednesday’s drawing. A total of 279,262 tickets were purchased, with some lucky individuals able to claim money ranging from $4 to $1 million!
Although there wasn’t a grand prize winner, one player from California matched five of the white numbers to win $1 million. That player did not take advantage of the Power Play option, so they received $1 million instead of $2 million.
Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands! People play it by using either a quick pick or by choosing up to 9 numbers between 1 and 69.
Powerball Lottery drawings happen every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday starting at 10:59 p.m Eastern Time (ET). You do not have to be a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident to play the Powerball.
The Double Play add-on feature is available for purchase in 13 lottery jurisdictions: Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Washington DC.
