Powerball Jackpot Hits $116 Million After Wednesday Drawing

Written by Published

No one hit the Powerball jackpot in Wednesday night’s drawing, sending the top prize climbing to an estimated $116 million for Saturday’s drawing.

The winning numbers were 12, 32, 45, 50 and 58, with 2 as the Powerball.

While the jackpot went untouched, thousands of Texas players still walked away with prizes. According to the Texas Lottery, 24,282 tickets sold in the state won something.

Here’s a quick look at some of the Texas winners:

  • 15,942 tickets matched only the Powerball and won $4 each. Of those, 6,707 included Power Play, boosting the prize to $8.
  • 6,496 tickets matched one white-ball number plus the Powerball for $4. With Power Play, 2,722 of those tickets paid $8.
  • 1,042 tickets matched three white-ball numbers and won $7. Power Play increased the prize to $14 for 424 winners.
  • 759 tickets matched two white balls plus the Powerball, winning $7. Among them, 331 Power Play tickets paid $14.
  • 30 tickets matched three white balls plus the Powerball for $100. Ten Power Play winners doubled that amount to $200.
  • 13 tickets matched four of the five white balls, earning $100. Six Power Play tickets increased that prize to $200.

Texas did not have a $1 million winner this time around. That prize goes to players who match all five white-ball numbers but miss the Powerball.

With the jackpot still waiting for a winner, Powerball players now have another shot at the estimated $116 million prize on Saturday night.
