Powerball News – The Powerball jackpot drought stretched past nights as no tickets sold that matched all the winning numbers. That means the top prize for Saturday’s drawing grows to $258 million.

The winning numbers are 12 · 18 · 20 · 29 · 30

The number on the Powerball red ball is 16

Power Play 3X5 lucky players become milionaires in this drawing.

Two players who bought tickets in New Jersey and Washington, D.C receive $1 million for each.

Two players who bought tickets in Ohio and Wisconsin win $2 million prizes with Power Play.

And another who own the ticket bought in California gets $4,472,553.

22 tickets match 4/5 white balls plus the Power ball number win $50,000 third prizes; 8 tickets win $150,000 with Power Play 3X; five $20,409 prizes belong to California players.

Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington D.C, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of a ticket hitting the jackpot are 292,201,338 to 1. Players have roughly a 1 in 11,688,053 chance to win at least $1 million.

To play Powerball, you pick six numbers: five numbers between one and 69 for the white balls; and one number between one and 26 for the red Powerball. Selecting all of them correctly gets you the jackpot. You can also pay for the Power Play option, which multiples any winnings earned by two, three, four, five or 10 times the amount, depending on which number is drawn.

How can you increase your odds? You can buy more than one ticket, though you’d have to have purchase 292,201,338 to account for all of the numerical possibilities, which would cost more than winning the jackpot. You have much better odds of winning a small prize:

$1 million prize: Five matching numbers: 1 in 11,688,053.52
