Updated: Sunday, May 16, 2021 01:22 AM

The lump-sum cash payout will be $137.4 million. Powerball's grand prize increased because no player hit all 5 lotto numbers plus the Powerball number drawn Saturday night.

There was only one lucky player that correctly matched the first 5 numbers and won the 2nd prize. The one lucky ticket(s) bought in Indiana, each won 1 million dollar cash by matching all 5 white ball numbers.
Additional prizes won Saturday night included 16 tickets that matched 4 white ball numbers as well as the Powerball and won $10,000. 5 additional tickets of this prize level were also wisely purchased with the Power Play option that multiplied winnings 4 times to $40,000 cash! Additional prizes won Saturday night included 337 tickets that matched 4 white numbers and won $100. 93 additional tickets of this prize level were also wisely bought with the Power Play option that doubled winnings to $200 cash!
