- Power Play: 2x
Saturday night's 06/18/22 Powerball jackpot was worth $279 million, with a cash-value option worth $159.4 million. There was no grand prize winner on Saturday so the jackpot increases to $296 million for the 06/20/22 drawing. There were two tickets purchased for Saturday, however, that matched the first five white balls and minus the red Powerball for the game's second prize. One of those tickets, purchased in Indiana, is worth $2 million since they purchased the Power Play for an extra $1. The other ticket purchased in Massachusetts is worth $1 since they didn't buy the Power Play option.
The winning numbers last Wednesday (06/15/22) for the $258 million jackpot were: 19-28-41-42-51 with a Powerball of 07. The Power Play was 2x.
There was no grand prize winner on Wednesday, but there was one ticket sold in Texas that matched the first five white balls, and minus the red Powerball, for the game's second prize of $1 million. Had they purchased the Power Play for an extra $1, their second prize would be worth $2 million.
The last grand prize winner was on 04/27/22 for a $473 million jackpot with one lone ticket that was sold in Arizona. The last grand prize ticket before that was sold on 02/14/22 for a $183 million jackpot. That ticket was purchased in Connecticut.
The previous grand prize ticket before that was won on 01/05/22 for a $630 million jackpot. There were two winning tickets—one each in California and Wisconsin—that split the prize.
The previous Powerball grand prize winner before that was on Saturday 06/05/21 for a $286 million jackpot. That ticket was sold in Jacksonville, Florida, at a Circle K convenience store. The previous Powerball grand-prize winner was 03/27/21 for a drawing worth $238 million.
Powerball in early 2020 had three jackpot winners in four drawings. A ticket sold in Maryland hit the $731.1 million jackpot on Wednesday 01/20/21. The game reset to the $20 million minimum on Saturday 01/23/21, which was won, and then another jackpot hit on 01/30/21.
Previous to the last four winners, the last winning Powerball ticket was sold on Wednesday, January 20, 2021, in Maryland for the $730 million jackpot. It was the fourth-largest jackpot in the game's history. The previous winning ticket was sold back on August 12, 2020 for a jackpot worth $169 million. That ticket was sold in Florida.
Normally, the game would reset to a $40 million minimum, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced Powerball officials to cut the minimum jackpot in half, which began with the 04/11/20 jackpot.
The previous winning ticket was sold on June 10, 2020. The previous winning ticket sold was purchased in New Jersey for the 04/08/20 jackpot worth $190 million.

Powerball is a multi-state lottery played every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and one of America's two biggest lottery jackpot games. Powerball jackpots start at $20 million, and other prizes pay from $1 million to $2 million with a Power Play. Tickets are $2. You can check the numbers for tonight, or any past winning numbers, on the official Powerball website.
There are nine ways to win money during the Powerball. Just getting the Powerball with no other numbers pays out $4, and even more if the power play is bought for an extra dollar. The same payout goes for one ball plus the Powerball, and $7 is the payout for two correct numbers with the Powerball, or three correct numbers and no Powerball.
If all five white, numbered balls are chosen but the red Powerball is not correct, then the payout is $1 million, with an even higher payout if the power play is chosen.
The other multi-state lottery is Mega Millions, which is played on Tuesdays and Fridays. Like Powerball, the jackpot is reset at $20 million after a jackpot is won, and one line of numbers is $2, with a $1 option to multiply their winnings with a Megaplier. Here is the Mega Millions website for more information, or to check any potential past numbers.
