Powerball Lottery: Did you win the $ 550 million Powerball Lottery on Wednesday? Winning numbers, live results (13-1-2021)

Wednesday’s Powerball jackpot jumped to an estimated $ 550 million with a cash option of $ 411.4 million, making it the 12th largest in U.S. lottery history.

The winning numbers were: 4, 19, 23, 25 and 49. The power ball drawn was 14 with a power play of 2X.

The Powerball jackpot has not been won since September 16, when someone who bought a ticket in Ballston Spa, New York, won the highest prize of $ 94.6 million. Since then, 33 drawings have been held without a jackpot winner.

No one reached the $ 470 million jackpot on Saturday, although second-prize tickets were sold in Florida and Pennsylvania. Each ticket matches five numbers, but not the Powerball and is worth $ 1 million.

In New Jersey, four third-prize tickets were purchased that matched four numbers plus the Powerball. A ticket sold at 7-Eleven on Main Avenue in Clifton is worth $ 100,000 because the buyer spent an extra $ 1 for the Power Play option, New Jersey Lottery officials said.

Three other tickets purchased at the following locations are valued at $ 50,000 each:

• Mini Mart Food Store on Danforth Avenue in Jersey City
• QuickChek on Union Avenue in Hazlet
• Utopia Deli & Catering at Warwick Turnpike in the Hewitt section of West Milford

Saturday’s winning numbers were: 14, 26, 38, 45 and 46. The Power Ball was drawn 13 with a Power Play of 2X.

The chance to win the Powerball jackpot is 292,201,388 against 1. The player who buys a $ 2 ticket has a chance of 1 out of 11,688,053 to match five numbers and win at least $ 1 million, while the chance 913,129 to 1 is around the third prize of at least $ 50,000.

Powerball is played Wednesday and Saturday in 45 states, Washington DC, the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

The New Jersey Lottery office in Lawrence is open by appointment only. You can still claim your profits – provided they are less than $ 599.50 – in person at any dealer.

The lottery also accepts claims by mail, although officials warn that payments may be temporarily delayed. Winners are advised to make copies of the claim form and the winning ticket for their records.
