Tue Dec 24 06:00:00 UTC 2024: **Powerball Jackpot Soars to $103 Million After No Winner on Saturday**

NEW YORK, Dec 24, 2024 – No one won Saturday night’s Powerball jackpot, sending the prize soaring to an estimated $103 million ($47 million cash value) for Monday’s drawing. This presents a potentially massive Christmas surprise for a lucky player.

While the grand prize remained unclaimed, several players won significant secondary prizes. Two tickets, one each in Indiana and New Jersey, matched five numbers plus the Power Play, winning $2 million apiece. An Illinois ticket holder matched five numbers, securing a $1 million prize.

The winning numbers for the December 23rd drawing were 22, 42, 44, 57, and 64, with a Powerball of 18. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are exceedingly slim, at one in 292,201,338.

The last jackpot winner was earlier this month in New York, claiming a $256 million prize. Lottery tickets can be purchased at various retail locations, including convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores. Online ticket purchases are also available in select states through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network.
