The Powerball jackpot has reached almost $300 million after another drawing without a winner. The latest drawing had no Match 5 winners either, but over a dozen players won tier-three prizes of $50,000 or $100,000. Six Players Won $100K Sums The Powerball game has had another jackpot that produced no winner after no one in the US or UK managed to match all six numbers required to win the Wednesday top prize. At the time of the drawing, the jackpot stood at $271 million with a cash value of $115.2 million. The winning numbers drawn on September 17, on the other hand, were 2, 21, 24, 25, and 64. The red Powerball was 7, and the Power Play multiplier was 2x. As mentioned, the Wednesday drawing did not produce a Match 5 prize, since no one was lucky enough to match all five white numbers. However, over a dozen players matched four white numbers plus the Powerball to win tier-three prizes. Of these players, seven won $50,000 each, while six took home $100,000 each due to the Power Play feature. Meanwhile, the game’s jackpot swelled to $298 million for the next drawing, almost hitting the $300 million mark. The cash option for that jackpot is currently standing at $126.6 million. The next drawing is set to take place this Saturday, September 19. Powerball Continues to Make Players Richer In other news, last Saturday’s drawing awarded not one, but two Match 5 prizes. One of these sums was won by a player in Georgia who is now eligible to redeem a $1 million payout. The other win occurred in Ohio, where a player won a Power Play-infused prize of $2 million. The same drawing also awarded two $100,000 prizes. In the meantime, the Monday Powerball drawing was also an eventful one, albeit in different ways. Instead of Match 5 sums, that drawing awarded some nine $100,000 prizes to players in various regions. To top it all off, 21 more players had matched four white numbers plus the Powerball without having the Power Play feature active, netting them $50,000 each.
