2022’s Top Stories: Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $1.2 Billion

As 2022 ends, we’re sharing a few of our most-read stories of the year, from November: After nobody matched all six numbers in last night’s $1 billion Powerball drawing, the jackpot has now increased to $1.2 billion, with a cash out value estimated to be $596 million. The winning numbers from Halloween night were 13 19 36 39 59 and Powerball: 13. The next drawing will take place on Wednesday, November 2 at 10:59pm.  Yesterday it was announced that a $1 million winning ticket was sold for last Saturday’s Powerball drawing in Prince George’s County. According to FOX5, the ticket was purchased at the Giant grocery store located at 15520 Annapolis Road in Bowie. Per Powerball:

The Powerball® jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1.2 billion ($596.7 million cash) for the next drawing on Wednesday, Nov. 2. The jackpot rolled after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Monday night – white balls 13, 19, 36, 39, 59 and red Powerball 13. If a player wins Wednesday’s jackpot, it will be the second-largest jackpot in Powerball history, only behind the world record $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot, and fourth-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history. Despite there being no jackpot winner in last Monday’s drawing, more than 5.4 million tickets won cash prizes totaling $59.5 million in the Halloween night drawing. Big winners include 10 tickets (CA-2, FL, IN, MI, NY, OH-2, TX-2) that matched all five white balls to win a $1 million prize. Three tickets (FL, NY, OK) matched all five white balls and increased the $1 million prize to $2 million by including the Power Play® option for an additional $1 per play. There were also 134 tickets nationwide that won a $50,000 prize, and another 23 tickets that won a $150,000 prize.
