UPDATE: A Powerball ticket sold in Michigan has won $1 million in the drawing on December 13, marking the second time this week that a Michigander has struck gold in the lottery. The winning ticket matched the five white balls: 1, 28, 31, 57, and 58, according to the Michigan Lottery.
This latest victory follows another $1 million win from a ticket sold for the December 10 drawing, illustrating an extraordinary week for lottery players in Michigan. The jackpot remains elusive, with no winners from Saturday’s drawing, pushing the prize for the next drawing on December 15 to a staggering $1.1 billion (approximately $503.4 million cash value).
In addition to the Michigan wins, two tickets matching five numbers with the Power Play feature were sold in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, each worth $2 million. Other states, including California, Florida, New Jersey, and Virginia, also saw winners, with five tickets each netting $1 million.
The largest Powerball jackpot ever won in Michigan was an astounding $842.4 million, sold at Food Castle in Grand Blanc in January 2024. This record continues to drive excitement and participation in the game.
Lottery enthusiasts should note that the next Powerball drawing will take place at 10:59 p.m. on December 15. Ticket sales in Michigan are available until 9:45 p.m. on the night of the draw, both in-store and online. Playing Powerball costs $2, and for an extra $1, players can opt for the Power Play feature, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to ten times.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot stand at a daunting 1 in 292.2 million, a reminder of the high stakes involved in this high-profile lottery game.
