Powerball jackpot rises to $63 million, no Match 5 prize

No one won the jackpot or the Match 5 prize in the November 11 Powerball drawing. Given that the jackpot was awarded just a few days earlier, this is not surprising. The fact that the Match 5 prizes have also not yet been awarded is part of the usual slowdown seen after big jackpot wins.

In the November 4 drawing, a player in New Jersey won the $847 million jackpot. The top prize then reset to $20 million, starting a new cycle. The winning numbers in the November 11 drawing were 8, 42, 45, 51 and 57, and the red Powerball was 17. The Power Play multiplier was 3x. Anyone who matched all six numbers would have won $45 million. For a player choosing the lump-sum payment, that amount would have been $19.4 million.

Several players matched four white numbers and the red Powerball to win the third-tier prize. Two people won $50,000 each, while one person won $150,000 thanks to the Power Play feature.

Because the jackpot continued to roll over, the top prize is now officially estimated at $63 million. If someone wins it, they will be able to choose between an annual payment or a lump-sum payment of $27.1 million. The next drawing will be held this Saturday.
