Power Play’s 5x Multiplier Greatly Increased Several Players’ Payouts

The April 15 Powerball drawing did not produce a jackpot winner but distributed numerous significant prizes, including a seven-figure award. The jackpot will now grow even larger for the next draw after remaining unclaimed.

The winning numbers for the drawing were 13, 21, 27, 43, and 45, with the red Powerball being 26.

During the draw, the jackpot was an estimated $59 million, with a cash option of $26.7 million. Although no ticket matched all six numbers, one player in Colorado matched the five white numbers to claim a $1 million Match 5 prize.

Additionally, ten players nationwide won the third-tier prize by matching four white numbers and the Powerball. Six will receive $50,000 each, while the other four, who had the Power Play option, will collect $250,000 apiece due to the 5x multiplier.

The Powerball jackpot has now increased to $75 million, with a cash value of $34.1 million. The next drawing is scheduled for Saturday.
