The Powerball lottery draw took place on October 15th, 2022, Saturday that had a jackpot of $454 million and also came with a cash value of $232.6 million.
Jackpot grows again
The lottery numbers that were drawn in Saturday night’s Powerball draw were 32, 37, 40, 58 and 62, with 15 being the Powerball number. As for the Power Play option, it was 5X.
Unfortunately, no player was able to match all the six numbers in the Powerball lottery draw on Saturday night, which means that the jackpot remained unclaimed.
The massive prize would now roll over for the next drawing of the Powerball lottery, which is scheduled for Monday, October 17th, 2022.
Monday night’s Powerball lottery drawing would now have a jackpot of $480 million and this will come with a cash value of $242.2 million.
Other details
There has not been a Powerball jackpot winner since late July, when a grand prize of $206.9 million was taken home by a player in Pennsylvania.
In order to win the jackpot in the Powerball lottery, players are required to match all six numbers that are drawn.
Players have to choose the first five numbers from 1 to 69, while the choice of the Powerball number is between 1 and 26.
They have the option of claiming jackpot wins as a lump sum, which means that almost half of the jackpot prize is paid out in taxes and winners get to take the remaining home.
The other option is claiming the prize as an annuity, which means receiving a yearly payment over three decades.
The Powerball lottery draw is conducted three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
Other games
Meanwhile, the Mega Millions lottery jackpot had also been growing, along with the Powerball jackpot. Both of them had entered the $400 million category.
However, it turns out that the Mega Millions lottery draw was finally claimed by two ticket-holders in Friday night’s draw, after the jackpot had hit a whopping $494 million.
