Powerball lottery: Did you win Saturday's $149M Powerball drawing? Winning numbers, live results (08/17/2019) - NJ.com

The Powerball jackpot for Saturday’s lottery drawing has climbed to $149 million with a cash option of $103.7 million.

The winning numbers were: 18, 21, 24, 30, 60. Powerball: 20. Power Play 3x.

Since last being hit July 13, nine drawings have been held without a top-prize winner including Wednesday when no one across the country won the $138 million jackpot.

There were also no second-prize, $1 million tickets sold across the country.

In New Jersey, a pair of third-prize, $50,000 tickets were purchased - both in Bergen County. One was sold at Acme on Lemoine Avenue in Fort Lee, the other at Midland Deli & Grill on Midland Avenue in Paramus. Each matched four numbers plus the Powerball.

The jackpot has been won three times this year.

On March 27, Manuel Franco, of West Allis, Wisconsin won the $768.4 million prize, the third biggest in U.S. lottery history. On June 1, Charles Jackson Jr., a 66-year-old grandfather from Cumberland County, North Carolina, claimed the $344.6 million Powerball prize. On July 13, someone in Hendersonville, Tennessee hit the $198 million jackpot. A trust claimed the prize for the winner, who opted for the $128.1 million lump sum.

Wednesday’s winning numbers were: 10, 13, 30, 51 and 69. The Powerball drawn was 10 with a Power Play of 2x.

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 on Wednesday and Saturday in 44 states, Washington D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

In March, Michael J. Weirsky, 54, of Alpha in Warren County hit the $273 million Mega Millions drawing.
