There were no jackpot winners in Saturday night’s Powerball drawing — the 34th consecutive time no one matched all the numbers — sending the new jackpot to $650 million for Monday night.

Saturday’s winning numbers were 7, 23, 24, 32 and 43, with a Powerball of 18.

The Powerball jackpot was last hit on April 19, 2023, when a ticket bought near Cleveland matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to win a $252.6 million prize, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.

April’s winning ticket sold in Macedonia, between Cleveland and Akron, was only the fourth Powerball jackpot-winning ticket sold in Ohio since Powerball started in this state 13 years ago.

If a player wins the jackpot in Monday’s drawing, they will have the choice to receive the estimated $650 million prize in 30 annual annuity payments or in a discounted lump-sum payment estimated at $328.3 million. Both prize amounts are before taxes, according to lottery officials.

Also, the Mega Millions jackpot is nearing $500 million, with the next drawing set for Tuesday, July 11. A potential winning player could take home an estimated pre-tax prize of $480 million in that drawing.
