Two Michigan Lottery Players Win $1 Million Playing Powerball

No one matched all six numbers to win Saturday night’s Powerball jackpot, but two Michigan Lottery players are $1 million richer after the drawing.

Two lucky players matched the five white balls drawn Saturday night – 19-31-40-46-57 – to win a $1 million prize. Those winning tickets were bought at:

  • New Buffalo Shell, located at 18913 Laporte Road in New Buffalo
  • Billy’s Liquor Depot II, located at 27222 Grand River Avenue in Redford

With no jackpot winner in Saturday’s drawing, the Powerball jackpot now stands at $1 billion with a cash option of $497 million. The next Powerball drawing will take place Monday night.

If a lucky player wins the $1 billion jackpot, it will be the second-largest Powerball jackpot ever won, and fifth-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history. Monday’s drawing will be the 38th Powerball drawing since the jackpot was last won Aug. 3.

The last Michigan player to win a Powerball jackpot was Cristy Davis, of Waterford. Davis won the game’s $70 million jackpot on Feb. 12, 2020.

If a Michigan player wins the jackpot, it would be the second largest jackpot ever won in the state. In January 2021, an Oakland County lottery club won a $1.05 billion Mega Millions jackpot. That jackpot was the largest ever won in Michigan and the fourth largest in U.S. lottery history.

Powerball tickets may be purchased until 9:45 p.m. Monday at retailer throughout the state. Tickets also may be purchased online at MichiganLottery.com.

Powerball plays may be purchased for $2 each at Lottery retailers across the state and online at MichiganLottery.com. A “Power Play” option that multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times to a maximum of $2 million may be added to any Powerball play for only $1. For an additional $1 per play, Double Play may be added to a Powerball ticket, giving players a second chance to win up to $10 million in the nightly Double Play drawing.

The Powerball drawing takes place at 10:59 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday and may be watched live online at: http://www.powerball.com. Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington D.C., U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
