A massive Powerball jackpot worth an astounding $645 million is currently up for grabs in the upcoming drawing scheduled for Monday, March 18, 2024. This staggering amount is the result of an incredible 32 consecutive drawings without a winner, leading to a substantial increase in the jackpot prize.
In the most recent drawing held on Saturday, March 16, 2024, a lucky Michigan resident managed to snag a cool $1 million by matching all five white ball numbers. The winning Powerball numbers for that particular drawing were 12-23-44-57-61, with a Red Ball number of 5 and a Power Play option of 2x. Despite numerous participants, there were no jackpot winners in Saturday’s drawing, nor were there any $2 million winners. However, two additional $1 million winners were identified in New Jersey and South Carolina.
For those looking to try their luck, Powerball tickets are priced at $2 per play, with drawings taking place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. in Tallahassee, Florida. Tickets can be purchased in 45 states across the United States, including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Interested individuals can buy tickets until 9:45 p.m. on the day of the drawing.
Winners of the Powerball jackpot have the option to receive their prize as an annuity over 29 years or as a lump sum payment. Regardless of the choice made, both options are subject to federal and jurisdictional taxes. With the chance to win this life-changing amount, many are eagerly anticipating the upcoming Powerball drawing on Monday. Will you be the next lucky winner?
