Powerball Jackpot Remains Unclaimed
The recent Powerball lottery draw on November 9, 2024, left many hopefuls without the grand prize, as no one claimed the $92.1 million jackpot. However, the draw was not without its winners. Thousands of smaller prizes were distributed across Ohio, bringing joy to many participants. Among these, a ticket worth $500,000 was sold in the state, though the exact location remains undisclosed. Meanwhile, a $1 million winning ticket was sold in New Jersey, adding to the excitement of the draw. The winning numbers for the Saturday night draw were 11, 24, 50, 56, and 66, with the Powerball number 16. The Power Play option was x2, offering players a chance to multiply their non-jackpot winnings.
Upcoming Powerball Jackpot
With no winner for the grand prize, the next Powerball jackpot is estimated to reach $103 million, with a cash option of $48.6 million. The odds of hitting the jackpot remain steep, at one in 292,201,338. However, the odds of winning a $1 million prize are slightly more favorable, at one in 11,688,053.52. These odds do not deter the hopeful, as many continue to participate in the hopes of striking it rich.
