Powerball Jackpot Winners In New York State

Finally, someone has claimed the Powerball grand prize jackpot.

The jackpot has increased to $1.73 billion dollars and the last time someone took home the grand prize was back in July. Now we have a new grand prize winner.

Wednesday's Powerball numbers were 22-24-40-52-64 With the Powerball number 10.

The good news is that there were plenty of "Big Money" winners in New York as well.

The New York State Lottery announced that one ticket sold in Saratoga won $1 million dollars. That ticket matched all five numbers but didn't have the Powerball number.

15 other tickets sold in New York also won "Big Money". All 15 of those tickets matched 4 out of 5 numbers and had the Powerball number and won at least $50,000. One of those tickets also had the Powerplay which means their winning ticket was worth $100,000.

The jackpot for Saturday Night's Powerball has returned to the starting amount of $20 million dollars.

Last night's Powerball jackpot was the 2nd largest lottery jackpot in US history. The only won bigger was also won by someone in California back in 2022. They won the $2.04 billion dollar grand prize jackpot.
