The profitable numbers in Saturday’s drawing for the $1.5 billion Powerball jackpot are 4, 5, 28, 52 and 69, with pink Powerball 20.
Saturday’s jackpot is the fifth largest within the Powerball recreation and the seventh largest amongst US lottery jackpots, in response to a Friday information launch.
“This jackpot is set to deliver the ultimate windfall,” Matt Strawn, Powerball Product Group Chair and Iowa Lottery CEO, mentioned in a news release Thursday.
The Powerball jackpot rose after nobody held the grand prize ticket in Wednesday’s drawing.
While nobody gained the grand prize jackpot Wednesday, two fortunate winners every gained $2 million, in response to the Powerball website. Those profitable tickets had been offered in Arizona and Massachusetts.
Saturday’s potential winner can select between an annuitized prize estimated at $1.5 billion or a lump sum fee estimated at $689.3 million – a prize that comes simply in time for the vacation season.
The odds of profitable the Powerball’s jackpot are 1 out of 292.2 million, although the percentages are higher for smaller money prizes, some as little as $4.
The Powerball drawings are held each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET.
