Powerball Jackpot Reaches $835 Million with Michigan Emerging as Largest Prize Winner
The Powerball jackpot has once again skyrocketed, reaching a staggering amount of $835 million after no one claimed the $793 million grand prize in the recent draw held on Monday, September 25. This new figure places it as the fourth-largest prize in Powerball history and the ninth-largest prize in U.S. lottery history, leaving millions of hopefuls eagerly awaiting the next drawing on Wednesday, September 27, which offers a cash option of $390.4 million.
While the grand prize remained elusive, four lucky individuals managed to match all five white numbers, securing a rewarding $1 million each. These winning tickets were sold in Florida (three times) and Oregon. Unfortunately, none of these fortunate winners opted to play the Power Play option, which would have doubled their winnings to $2 million.
Michigan, on the other hand, had its share of triumph as 12 players in the state won $200 each – the largest prize obtained in Michigan for this particular drawing. Additionally, a total of 46,171 tickets in Michigan clinched a minimum of $4, contributing to the excitement and thrill of the game.
With 1,285,877 tickets sold nationwide that grabbed at least $4 in rewards, the popularity of Powerball is undeniable. The game is not limited to one state alone but is offered in 44 states across the United States, including Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Players simply select five numbers ranging from 1 to 69 as well as one red ball numbered from 1 to 26, with tickets priced at $2 each.
This staggering jackpot has captivated the nation, fueling dreams of unimaginable wealth and endless possibilities. As the anticipation builds for the next drawing, countless individuals are eagerly purchasing their tickets, hoping to be the lucky one to ultimately claim the enormous prize.
