No Jackpot Winner in $216 Million Powerball Drawing, Texas Ticket Wins $1 Million

The $216 million Powerball jackpot survived Saturday night's drawing unclaimed, as the winning combination of 3, 6, 13, 41 and 65, with Powerball 1 and a 4x Power Play multiplier, went unmatched by any ticket in the country.

The closest any player came to the top prize was a single ticket sold in Texas. That ticket matched all five white balls without the Powerball, landing the $1 million match-5 prize and standing as the drawing's biggest winner. It was the only such ticket nationwide.

Below that, 12 tickets matched four numbers plus the Powerball to earn $50,000 each. Four of those holders had also purchased the Power Play option, which under the 4x multiplier expanded their winnings in participating jurisdictions. Further down the prize ladder, hundreds of thousands of tickets across all participating states collected smaller amounts, with the state-by-state breakdowns showing large volumes of $4 and $7 prizes. Powerball also held its separate Double Play drawing, adding another layer of results for eligible ticket holders.

The jackpot itself had been advertised at approximately $216 million, with a lump-sum cash value of roughly $98.2 million. Because no ticket matched all six numbers, the top prize rolls over to the next scheduled drawing, where it will climb higher and, as has been the pattern in previous multi-draw cycles, likely drive a surge in ticket sales across the country.

State lottery spokespeople in Ohio and elsewhere noted that while no jackpot ticket emerged, thousands of players in their states still collected prizes ranging from $4 to $1,000. Officials encouraged those winners to sign the back of their tickets immediately and follow their individual state claim procedures, as deadlines vary: some states allow a full year to claim, while others set shorter windows.

For anyone holding a significant winning ticket, Powerball recommends verifying numbers directly through the official site or a state lottery office before making any financial decisions. Winners of large prizes face immediate tax implications that financial and legal advisers routinely flag, urging consultation with accountants and attorneys before any public announcement or major purchase.

With the jackpot now rolling into the next drawing at a figure north of $216 million, the April 4 results follow a familiar arc: no single life-changing winner, but a broad distribution of smaller prizes that reaches into virtually every participating state, and a top prize that grows more compelling with each ticket sold.
