| Monday's Powerball Jackpot: $1.20 Billion - October 2, 2023 Winning Numbers |
Introduction:
The Powerball lottery has reached historic heights, with its jackpot climbing to a staggering $1.04 billion, making it one of the top 10 largest Powerball prizes of all time. If you're feeling lucky, grab your tickets, and let's explore the latest winning numbers and updates on this monumental jackpot.
Powerball Winning Numbers - October 2, 2023:
On Monday night, the Powerball numbers drawn were 12, 26, 27, 43, 47, with the Powerball itself being 5. Additionally, the Power Play multiplier was 2X. Unfortunately, no one managed to match all six numbers to claim the Powerball jackpot.
Million-Dollar Winners:
While the grand prize remained elusive, two fortunate individuals from Delaware and Michigan successfully matched all five numbers, missing only the Powerball, and secured a $1 million prize. Meanwhile, in New York and South Carolina, two ticket holders achieved the same feat but added the Power Play, elevating their winnings to an impressive $2 million.
Double Play Numbers:
The Double Play numbers for this drawing were 11, 26, 35, 40, 43, with the Powerball being 24. Regrettably, no one managed to match all six numbers in this additional play, and no tickets matched all five numbers without the Powerball, which would have been worth $500,000.
How to Win in Powerball:
To win a prize in Powerball, you need to match at least one number, and that number must be the Powerball itself, which secures a $4 prize. If you manage to match one of the five regular numbers along with the Powerball, you'll also win $4.
Upcoming Powerball Drawing:
The excitement continues to build as the Powerball jackpot for the next drawing on Wednesday is estimated to be an astounding $1.20 billion, with a cash option of $551.7 million. Be sure to tune in for the next drawing, which takes place three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, at approximately 10:59 p.m. ET.
