Powerball Lottery: Did you win Monday’s $ 685 million Powerball draw? Winning numbers, live results (10/04/2021)

The Powerball jackpot for Monday’s lottery draw climbed to around $ 685 million, with a cash option of $ 485.5 million. If anyone wins, it would be at least the eighth biggest jackpot in US lottery history and the sixth biggest Powerball prize.

The winning numbers were: 66, 12, 22, 54, 69 and the Powerball 15.

The jackpot has been racked up more than 40 times since a $ 286 million bill was sold in Jacksonville, Fla. For the June 5 draw. The prize was claimed by “The Love You More Trust,” which chose a one-time lump sum payment of $ 196,706,252 before taxes, according to Powerball officials.

While no one across the country won Saturday’s $ 651.3 million jackpot, a second prize of $ 1 million was sold in Massachusetts.

In New Jersey, five third prize tickets were purchased that matched four numbers plus Powerball. A ticket purchased using the Jackpocket app is worth $ 100,000 because the winner spent an additional $ 1 for the Power Play option. The others are valued at $ 50,000 each. They were purchased from:

• Acme in Port Imperial in Western New York
• Woodbridge News in the Woodbridge Center shopping mall
• 7-Eleven on Maple Avenue in Red Bank
• Kwik store on New Brunswick Avenue in Matawan

The winning numbers for Saturday were: 28, 38, 42, 47, 52. The Powerball shot was 1 with a Power play 2x. A million dollar second prize ticket was purchased in Massachusetts.

Plus, no one touched the ensuing $ 10 million Double Play secondary draw. These winning numbers were: 6, 12, 39, 58 and 61. Double Play Powerball was 22.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 292,201,388-1. A player who buys a $ 2 ticket has about a 1 in 11,688,053 chance of matching five numbers and winning at least $ 1 million, while that the odds are 913,129 to 1 of winning third prize of at least $ 50,000.

Powerball is played Monday, Wednesday and Saturday in 45 states, Washington DC, the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
