Minnesota Player Secures $2M Match 5 Prize from Powerball

A lucky player in Minnesota has become the latest player to win a seven-figure Match 5 prize from the Powerball game. At the same time, the game’s jackpot survived, meaning that it will grow even larger as the Saturday drawing approaches. Ticket-Holder in Minnesota Is Eligible to Redeem $2M The Wednesday drawing provided players with a chance to win a jackpot of $566 million (cash value of $231.9 million). A jackpot win did not happen and neither did a regular Match 5 win for $1 million. However, one player not only matched all five white numbers, but also did so while having the Power Play feature active, resulting in a Match 5 + Power Play prize of $2 million. The winner was identified as a ticket-holder in the state of Minnesota. Speaking of the winning white numbers, the ones drawn on October 14, 2026, were 3, 34, 37, 42, and 46. The red Powerball was 20 and the Power Play multiplier was 3x. In addition to the incredible $2 million prize in Minnesota, fifteen players won smaller sums after matching four white numbers plus the red Powerball. Of these, a dozen will take home $50,000 each, while the remaining three will scoop up $150,000 each instead, thanks to Power Play. Since the Powerball jackpot was not won, it has now reached $600 million, representing a major milestone for the game. If anyone manages to snatch it during the Saturday drawing, they would be presented with a choice between the annuity option for the full sum and the one-time lump sum of $246 million. The next jackpot is set to take place on October 17, roughly 60 hours from the time of this writing. Several Players in the UK Won Match 5 Prizes In other news, another player in the United Kingdom just won a $1 million Match 5 prize from the game after matching all five white numbers. This once again demonstrates that Powerball, which launched in Great Britain earlier this year, is becoming a popular game among Brits. The first Powerball Match 5 win in the UK happened in late August, when a player matched all five white numbers for the final drawing of the month, netting them $1 million. A few weeks later, another $1 million win in the UK followed, as the September 21 drawing saw a UK player win $1 million.
