BREAKING NEWS: A Powerball ticket sold in Michigan has just won $1 million in the drawing on December 13, 2023, marking the second time this week that a Michigander has struck it rich in the lottery. The winning ticket matched the five white balls: 1, 28, 31, 57, and 58, according to the Michigan Lottery.
This latest win follows another $1 million victory from a ticket purchased for the drawing on December 10. The excitement surrounding these wins comes as no one hit the Powerball jackpot in the latest drawing, pushing the jackpot for the next drawing on Monday, December 15, to a staggering $1.1 billion (or $503.4 million cash value).
In addition to the two $1 million winners, Powerball saw two Match 5 + Power Play tickets worth $2 million each sold in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Other non-jackpot winning tickets worth $1 million were also sold in California, Florida, New Jersey, and Virginia.
The largest Powerball jackpot ever sold in Michigan was a breathtaking $842.4 million, which was won in January 2024 at Food Castle in Grand Blanc. With the stakes so high, players are eager for their chance to win big.
For those looking to get in on the action, the next Powerball drawing occurs at 10:59 p.m. on December 15. In Michigan, tickets can be purchased both in-store and online until 9:45 p.m. on the night of the draw. Each Powerball ticket costs $2, and for an extra $1, players can opt for the Power Play feature, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot stand at a daunting 1 in 292.2 million. However, with two significant wins in rapid succession, excitement is building across the state and beyond.
Stay tuned as we continue to follow these thrilling developments in the Michigan Powerball saga. Make sure to check back for updates and get your tickets before the deadline for the next drawing!
