The anticipation is palpable as the Powerball jackpot has surged to a sizeable $84 million for Monday’s upcoming drawing. The excitement follows the revelation that no ticket succeeded in matching all the winning numbers in Saturday’s draw. Those dreaming of an instant fortune are now looking at a potential $40.4 million lump-sum payout after taxes, should they hold the winning numbers next time.
With the jackpot expanding, Monday night’s draw is eagerly awaited by many. The winning numbers were selected shortly after 11 p.m. ET, and here are the results: the numbers for the June 24 Powerball draw are 5, 6, 36, 53, and 69, with the Powerball number being 8. Additionally, the Power Play multiplier for this round stands at 2X.
Sponsorship for releasing these winning numbers has been courtesy of Jackpocket, the inimitable digital lottery courier officially aligned with the USA TODAY network. This shows the collaboration between new-age technology and traditional lotteries, bringing added convenience to hopeful Powerball players.
It wasn’t too long ago that a lucky ticket scooped a staggering $1.3 billion Powerball prize. Stories of winners often serve as inspiration and hope to millions—like the cancer survivor who claimed he ‘prayed to God’ for his win, or the woman in Virginia who became $50,000 richer simply by running errands for her mother.
To stay in the loop with the latest on Monday’s draw winners, one can keep an eye on timely updates. Comprehensive details about previous Powerball winners are accessible through the official lottery website, providing a treasure trove of inspiring jackpot stories and statistics.
For those interested in trying their luck, joining the Powerball frenzy is straightforward. Tickets, which cost $2 each, can be purchased at local convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, and in select states, even online. Playing involves picking a total of six numbers: five numbers from a pool of 1 to 69, and a single Powerball number between 1 and 26.
To increase the odds of winning non-jackpot prizes, players can opt-in for a “Power Play” at an additional cost of $1.
. This feature can amplify the prize amounts by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or even 10X, adding an extra layer of excitement and potential profit to the game.
For those who prefer not to pick numbers themselves, the “Quick Pick” option is available. This feature allows a cashier to print a ticket with randomly generated numbers, making entry into the draw hassle-free and spontaneous.
Powerball drawings are scheduled thrice weekly—Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. Each draw that doesn’t yield a jackpot winner sends the prize soaring higher, accumulating millions more as anticipation builds.
Purchasing tickets is simple and convenient, with Powerball entries available at gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores. Some airport terminals may also sell lottery tickets, making it convenient for travelers and busy professionals.
