Three Ohio players hit four of the five white balls plus the Powerball in Monday night’s drawing, earning big non‑jackpot prizes.
The winning numbers were 6, 16, 33, 40 and 62. The Powerball was 2 and the Powerplay multiplier was x2.
– Two tickets matched four of five numbers plus the Powerball and won the standard $50,000 prize.
– A third ticket also matched four of five plus the Powerball but had the Powerplay x2, which doubled the prize to $100,000. That $100,000 ticket was sold at Gonzalez Grocery in Lorain, Ohio. Lottery officials have not yet announced where the other two winning tickets were purchased.
No one hit the $501 million jackpot, so the prize continues to grow. The next Powerball drawing is Wednesday, Aug. 13, with an estimated jackpot of $526 million.
Additional comments and guidance:
– Matching four numbers plus the Powerball carries a $50,000 prize by default; Powerplay multiplies non‑jackpot prizes (in this drawing the x2 multiplier turned a $50,000 prize into $100,000).
– If you bought Powerball tickets for Monday’s drawing, check them — at the retailer where you purchased them, on the Ohio Lottery website or app, or by calling Ohio Lottery customer service to confirm results and learn claiming instructions.
– Lottery officials typically announce where winning tickets were sold after validation; keep an eye on official Ohio Lottery updates for any new details.
– While big wins are exciting, remember to protect winning tickets (sign the back) and to follow Ohio Lottery procedures when claiming prizes.
Brief summary:
Three Ohio ticket-holders matched four of five numbers plus the Powerball in Monday’s drawing; two won $50,000 each and a third won $100,000 after a Powerplay x2. The $501 million jackpot was not won and is estimated at $526 million for the next drawing on Aug. 13.
