Nashville, Tennessee – The Tennessee Lottery has announced a string of significant wins in the latest Powerball drawing, with five players celebrating $50,000 wins and one lucky ticket holder claiming a $100,000 prize. The winning ticket for the $100,000 prize was purchased at Publix on Gallatin Avenue in Nashville, while the $50,000 winners were sold at various unspecified locations throughout the state.
In a drawing that saw no jackpot winner, the Powerball jackpot has now soared to an astounding $1.7 billion, making it the third-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history. This comes on the heels of a remarkable streak, with 41 consecutive drawings without a jackpot win since May 31.
The numbers drawn in the latest Powerball drawing were 3, 16, 29, 61, and 69, with the Powerball number being 22. In addition to the numerous wins in Tennessee, two tickets sold in Missouri and Texas won the nearly $1.8 billion jackpot from the previous drawing.
Powerball players have a variety of options for winning smaller prizes, with four tickets from Oregon, Wyoming, Texas, and Michigan matching five numbers with the Power Play option, earning players $2 million each. Additionally, eleven other players matched five numbers to win $1 million each, with two of those tickets sold in California.
The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday night. With odds of 1 in 292.2 million for winning the jackpot, players are encouraged to try their luck. Each Powerball ticket costs $2 and is available across 45 states, along with Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Meanwhile, residents of Nevada often travel to California to purchase Powerball tickets due to a ban on lottery sales in their state.
