The Powerball jackpot was not hit on Saturday night, meaning that the jackpot for the Monday, October 9 drawing has climbed up to an estimated $1.55 BILLION, with a cash option of $679.8 million.
This is the 3rd highest Powerball jackpot and the 4th largest US Lottery jackpot of all time! However, while the big jackpot may grab all the attention, the Sunflower State has had multiple big winners during this current Powerball run.
On Saturday night, one ticket in Northeast Kansas matched all five numbers, but not the Powerball, to win $1 million! The winning numbers in the Saturday, October 7 Powerball drawing were white balls 47, 54, 57, 60, 65 and red Powerball 19. The Power Play® multiplier was 3X.
That wasn’t the only big winning ticket in that drawing in Kansas, however. Three tickets sold also won $50,000! Two of those tickets were sold in Northeast Kansas, and one was sold in Southeast Kansas. These winners join another $1 million ticket sold in South Central Kansas in late September.
To see a list of counties broken down by Lottery regions, see the Kansas Lottery website here. Powerball tickets start at just $2 per play, with the option to add the $1 Power Play multiplier to your ticket, which multiplies any win (except the jackpot) by up to 5X! Cutoff for entry into tonight’s drawing is 8:59 p.m.
