No Grand Prize Winner: Powerball Jackpot Rolls Over to $443 Million

Millions Dreamt Big, But No One Woke Up a Powerball Winner on Wednesday

The dream of becoming a multimillionaire remained elusive for Powerball players on Wednesday night, as no ticket matched all six winning numbers. This means the jackpot continues to grow, reaching an estimated $443 million for the upcoming Saturday, March 2nd, 2024, drawing.

Close, But No Cigar: Smaller Prizes Awarded

While there was no grand prize winner, the drawing wasn’t entirely devoid of winners. One lucky player matched all five white balls but missed the crucial Powerball number, snagging a cool $1 million prize. Additionally, several other tickets matched four white balls and the Powerball, each earning their holders a respectable $50,000 windfall.
