Another Brit Wins $1M Thanks to Powerball

Yet another high-profile Powerball win has happened in the United Kingdom, where a lucky player secured a seven-figure payout. This comes after the game launched in Great Britain earlier this year, providing local players with opportunities to play for an uncapped jackpot. Another Win in the UK Happened The Monday Powerball drawing had the jackpot set at $541 million, promising an unforgettable payout to any potential winners. The jackpot’s lump sum option at the time of the drawing was $221.7 million. Unfortunately, no one managed to match all six winning numbers required to win the top prize. For reference, the winning numbers for the drawing that took place on October 12 were 22, 28, 38, 51, and 69, plus the red Powerball 9. The Power Play multiplier for that drawing was 3x, which ended up boosting some of the wins. As mentioned, one player in the UK won a seven-figure prize after matching all five white numbers. Since they didn’t have the Power Play feature active, they will take home a payout of $1 million. At the same time, 17 players won tier-three sums after matching four white numbers plus the red Powerball. Of these, 11 won $50,000 each, while the remaining 6 won $150,000 each, thanks to Power Play. In the meantime, the Powerball jackpot has reached $562 million with a cash option of $230.4 million for the next drawing. Players will get another shot at the top prize this Wednesday. Several UK Wins Have Already Occurred The Match 5 prize in the UK is not an unprecedented one. Ever since Allwyn launched the Powerball game in the European country, local players have been able to play for an uncapped jackpot. While such a win has yet to materialize, several Brits have already won Match 5 prizes. The first such win happened in late August, when a UK player matched all five white numbers for the final drawing of the month. This netted them a payout of $1 million. A few weeks later, another such win happened, as the September 21 drawing allowed a UK player to redeem a $1 million payout. In other Powerball news, a lucky player in California just won a Match 5 prize from the game. Since California calculates prizes based on the number of tickets sold, the player will take home $2.3 million.
