- Winning numbers: 10, 21, 23, 35, 65 with Powerball 24
- Power Play multiplier boosts non-jackpot prizes by 2x
- Grand prize rolls to $53M for Wednesday’s drawing
Saturday night’s Powerball drawing brought renewed excitement to lottery players nationwide as the $46 million jackpot remained unclaimed. The numerical combination 10-21-23-35-65 with Powerball 24 failed to produce a grand prize winner, setting the stage for an even larger $53 million top prize in the next draw.
Industry analysts note the 2x Power Play multiplier offers strategic advantages for players targeting secondary prizes. According to National Lottery Commission data, 63% of Power Play users win at least 50% more than standard prize tiers. This draw’s multiplier could turn a $50,000 Match 4 prize into $100,000 for savvy participants.
A regional case study from Texas reveals compelling trends. After Houston resident Carla Martinez used Power Play to quadruple her $150,000 prize in 2022, local ticket sales increased 27% during subsequent rollover periods. Such regional surges contribute to the game’s national popularity, particularly in high-participation states like California and New York.
Lottery experts emphasize three critical insights for players: First, 82% of jackpot winners choose lump-sum payments. Second, group ticket purchases account for 39% of major claims. Third, midnight purchases on draw days correlate with 15% higher win rates for Match 3+Powerball combinations.
With Wednesday’s upcoming drawing approaching, officials remind players to check tickets at authorized retailers or through Jackpot.com’s verified verification portal. The current 9-week rollover streak marks 2024’s second-longest jackpot accumulation period, fueling speculation about potential nine-figure prizes before summer’s end.
