UPDATE: A Powerball ticket purchased in Michigan has just won $1 million in the drawing held on December 13, 2024. This marks the second time this week that a winner from Michigan has claimed a $1 million prize, according to the Michigan Lottery. The winning ticket matched the five white balls: 1, 28, 31, 57, and 58.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. Earlier this week, another ticket sold in Michigan also matched five white balls in the December 10 drawing, resulting in yet another $1 million win for the state. This surge in victories highlights Michigan’s luck in the Powerball game, but the jackpot remains elusive. No one won the main Powerball jackpot on December 13, causing the prize for the upcoming drawing on December 15 to skyrocket to an astonishing $1.1 billion (or a cash value of $503.4 million).
The stakes are high, with two Match 5 + Power Play tickets worth $2 million each sold in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Additionally, five other Match 5 tickets, each worth $1 million, were sold across Michigan, California, Florida, New Jersey, and Virginia.
The largest Powerball jackpot ever sold in Michigan was a staggering $842.4 million, won in January 2024 at Food Castle in Grand Blanc. As the buzz continues, many are eager to know when they can participate in the next drawing.
The next Powerball drawing is set for Monday, December 15, at 10:59 p.m. local time. In Michigan, ticket sales for both in-store and online purchases close at 9:45 p.m. on the night of the draw.
Playing Powerball costs just $2, with an optional Power Play feature available for an additional $1. This feature can multiply non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five, or even ten times. However, the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot remain steep, sitting at 1 in 292.2 million.
As excitement builds around this latest Powerball news, millions are expected to join in for a chance at life-changing winnings. Don’t forget to grab your ticket before the deadline!
