The Powerball jackpot has risen to an impressive $100 million after no one won the top prize in Saturday night’s drawing. In fact, no one won the second or third-place prizes either, leaving players disappointed and hopeful for the next drawing.
The winning numbers from Saturday’s drawing were 16, 22, 44, 45, 53, and the red Powerball number was 19.
Had someone won the jackpot on Saturday, it would have been worth $89 million. Second place would have earned $2 million, while third place would have taken home $1 million. But with no winners, the prize pool continues to grow.
To win the Powerball jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order, along with the red Powerball. The winning numbers are drawn from a pool of numbers ranging from 1 to 69, while the Powerball is selected from a separate pool of numbers between 1 and 26.
