Powerball results April 9, 2022: No winning ticket April 9; lottery Jackpot hits $288M after delay

In the Saturday, April 9 lottery drawing, the Powerball numbers have dropped for a jackpot estimated at $275.7 million, with a cash-out option of $170.7 million. Due to technical difficulties, the winning numbers were drawn late.

On Saturday, there were six winning numbers, 16, 31, 62, 66, and the Powerball was 18. Those were the winning numbers for the Saturday night drawing. Those were the winning numbers for the Power Play.

One ticket purchased in Puerto Rico matched all five numbers except for the Powerball as well as the Power Play, which resulted in a $2 million jackpot. But no one matched all six numbers in the Powerball drawing and no one won the jackpot.

Winning Powerball lottery numbers, results delayed

The following is the statement that Powerball.com published early Sunday morning on the delay:

A participating lottery has asked for extra time in order to complete the security protocols required as part of their powerball® drawing scheduled for Saturday, April 9. The official results of Saturday’s drawing are not yet available. In order to produce official Powerball drawings, all 48 lotteries must comply with strict security requirements before and after each drawing to meet security requirements. A lottery draw outcome is required in order to calculate the next estimated jackpot, and some jurisdictions do not pay prizes on winning tickets if the results of the draw are not available.

There was a delay in the Powerball drawing. As a result, it will take place at 2:35 a.m. CT on Sunday, April 10. A live stream of the drawing was available on Powerball.com, and video recordings were uploaded to the Powerball website and YouTube channel. There is also information available on Powerball.com regarding the winning numbers.

Despite the fact that most jurisdictions were able to complete their protocols on time, one lottery will take a little bit longer to process. The additional time we have been given to deliver the information to the public allows us to be certain that we are reporting the official and verified number of prize winners. We apologize for the delay in delivering this information to the public. Keep your tickets safe, and we will inform you when retailers will be able to pay out any prizes on winning tickets from the Powerball drawing on April 9.

Powerball’s last jackpot winner

The winning ticket for the Feb. 14 drawing which was worth $185.3 million was purchased by a single person in Connecticut.

A winner of the $632.6 million jackpot was found one other time this year when two winning tickets were sold at the Jan. 5, 2022 drawing. Two of the tickets were purchased in California and one in Wisconsin in that drawing.
