Powerball lottery: Did you win Saturday's $199M Powerball drawing? Live results, winning numbers (5/4/2019) - NJ.com

The Powerball lottery jackpot for Saturday’s drawing has rolled to an estimated $199 million with a cash option of $123.3 million.

The winning numbers were: 6, 16, 23, 30, 61. Powerball: 2. Power Play 2x

It’s been more than five weeks since a lucky Powerball lottery ticket bought in New Berlin, Wisconsin matched all the numbers and hit the $768.4 million jackpot. Manuel Franco, 24, claimed the the third-largest prize in U.S. lottery history last month. The cash option for the massive March 27 jackpot was worth $477 million.

Though no one hit the $181 million jackpot on Wednesday, a second-prize ticket sold in Indiana matched five numbers but not the Powerball and is worth $1 million.

Before the March 27 drawing, the last jackpot winner was David Johnson, a 56-year-old supermarket worker from Brooklyn, New York. He hit the $298.3 million jackpot on Dec. 26. Johnson chose the cash option worth $180,227,550 and received a check for $114,091,248 after taxes.

The odds of hitting the Powerball jackpot are 292,201,388 to 1. A player who buys a $2 ticket has about a 1 in 11,688,053 chance to match five numbers and win at least $1 million.

Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

In March, a 54-year-old man who lives in Alpha, Warren County hit the $273 million Mega Millions drawing.
