The $100 million Powerball jackpot went untouched following the Wednesday, April 22 drawing, sparking a surge in the prize pool for the next run. While no one managed to claim the grand prize—which carried a cash value of $45.8 million—the night wasn’t without its share of winners.
The winning numbers drawn on Wednesday were 24, 29, 32, 49, 63, with a red Powerball of 11 and a 2X Power Play.
According to lottery officials, one lucky player in Michigan successfully matched all five white balls to win a $1 million prize.
However, there were no “Match 5” winners who had opted for the Power Play, which would have doubled that million-dollar payout. Because the top prize survived the night, the jackpot for the upcoming drawing has officially climbed to an estimated $118 million.

For those checking their pockets, remember that Powerball offers nine ways to win. While you need the Powerball or at least three white balls to see a return, a single match of the red Powerball alone is enough to recoup $4. Tickets remain $2 per play, with the optional Power Play and Double Play add-ons available for $1 each.
The next drawing will take place at its usual time of 10:59 p.m. ET. With the jackpot hitting nine figures, officials expect an uptick in ticket sales as the Saturday draw approaches.
