Monday night’s Powerball drawing delivered fresh numbers but no jackpot winner, pushing the prize to $86 million, according to syracuse.com. The winning numbers were 4, 18, 24, 51, and 56, with Powerball 14 and a 2X Power Play.
The lump-sum payout would land around $38.8 million before taxes. Double Play numbers were also drawn, offering players in select states another shot at cash prizes.
Powerball drawings run three nights a week, and tickets cost $2. The odds remain long — about one in 292 million — but the jackpot keeps growing after a $1.7 billion win in Arkansas last month.
