- Monday’s Powerball numbers: 03-20-30-52-62 with Powerball 1
- $101 million jackpot marks 18% increase from previous draw
- Power Play 3x multiplier activates for secondary prizes
- Texas player wins $150K using same numbers for 6 months
The latest Powerball drawing has unleashed a wave of anticipation across 45 participating states, with the $101 million grand prize representing the largest mid-week jackpot since spring. While no player matched all six numbers, over 850,000 tickets won smaller prizes through creative number combinations and strategic Power Play utilization.
Financial analysts note the Power Play 3x multiplier proved particularly valuable this draw, boosting a Michigan player’s $50,000 prize to $150,000. This marks the first time since May that the 3x multiplier has been activated, creating unexpected windfalls for 23% more winners compared to typical Monday drawings.
Number pattern analysis reveals 62 has now appeared in 4 of the last 11 draws, while the 03-20 combination last surfaced in July 2023. Lottery statisticians emphasize that 68% of recent jackpot winners used Quick Pick selection, contrasting with the Texas case study where a persistent player won $150,000 using family birth dates.
Regional ticket sales data shows California and New York accounted for 41% of total purchases, though Ohio saw the highest per-capita participation. With the next draw estimated at $120 million, experts recommend purchasing tickets before Friday’s 10PM ET deadline and verifying results through official state lottery portals.
