View Date:2024-12-24 07:06:09
The Powerball jackpot has risen to $34 million ahead of Saturday's drawing after it was reset to $20 million following the $44.3 million winning jackpot from earlier this week.
The winning ticket from Monday's drawing was the second time the jackpot has been won this month.
A single ticket sold in California matched all six of the numbers drawn to win the jackpot, worth $44.3 million with a $21.9 million cash value. It was only last Monday that a player from Pennsylvania won the $213.8 million jackpot, meaning the Powerball jackpot has now been claimed seven times this year.
After the jackpot's reset and one drawing with no winner, its estimated cash value is now around $16.8 million after taxes.
The winning numbers were drawn just after 11 p.m. ET on Wednesday, and we have the results below.
