The Powerball lottery jackpot continues to grow after there was no winning ticket sold for Saturday night’s big drawing.
That means the next drawing on Monday will be worth at least $1.9 billion dollars, with a cash value just north of $929 million. While no one matched all six numbers, there were 16 lucky tickets that matched five numbers, resulting in million-dollar prizes for each one.
There is no word yet on where those million dollar tickets were sold.
We expect an update from the Michigan Lottery later on Sunday.
The last Michigan player to win a Powerball jackpot was Cristy Davis, of Waterford. Davis won the game’s $70 million jackpot on Feb. 12, 2020.
A $1.05 billion Mega Millions jackpot currently holds the record for the largest prize ever won in Michigan. That prize was won in January 2021 by an Oakland County lottery club, and is the fourth largest prize won of all time.
Powerball plays may be purchased for $2 each at Lottery retailers across the state and online at MichiganLottery.com. A “Power Play” option that multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times to a maximum of $2 million may be added to any Powerball play for only $1.
For an additional $1 per play, Double Play may be added to a Powerball ticket, giving players a second chance to win up to $10 million in the nightly Double Play drawing.
The Powerball drawing takes place at 10:59 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday and may be watched live online at: http://www.powerball.com. Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington D.C., U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
