Yahoo03-04-2025

Will a $2 Powerball ticket make you a multimillionaire? Several players in the Saturday, March 29, Powerball lottery drawing, including the jackpot winner, can attest, 'it can happen to you.'
The Powerball jackpot was $515 million, though final ticket sales pushed the grand total to $526.5 million. One ticket purchased at a 7-Eleven in Anaheim, California, about three miles from Disneyland theme park, matched all five numbers plus the Powerball to win.
The jackpot reset to $20 million for the Monday, March 31, Powerball, but that drawing resulted in a rollover for Wednesday, April 2. Check back after 11 p.m. for Wednesday's Powerball, and we'll see if anyone won the $30 million prize or $13.9 million lump sum.
In case you're wondering, Monday's winning numbers were 12-41-44-52-64 and the Powerball was 25. Power Play was 2x.
In addition, the winning numbers for the Powerball lottery drawing on Saturday, March 29, were 7-11-21-53-61 and the Powerball was 2. Power Play was 3x. (Did you notice two of the winning Powerball numbers were 7 and 11?)
Those winning Powerball numbers also resulted in big cash for five other tickets across the country. Two tickets purchased in Georgia and a ticket bought in Ohio, Oregon and Texas each matched 5 for $1 million prizes.
What are the odds? Powerball numbers on 2/22 'angel numbers' day included 22, 2x Power Play
Tickets start at $2 a piece. Below is what to know about lottery odds, how long to claim the cash option if you bought a ticket in Florida, and what happens to unclaimed prize money, according to the Florida Lottery.
Good luck!

A $1.586 billion Powerball tale: From a small town to 'Today' show with Savannah Guthrie to $6.2 million home
The last Powerball streak ended Saturday, March 29, 2025, when a ticket purchased from a 7-11 convenience store three miles from Disneyland in Anaheim, California, aka the 'happiest place on Earth,' matched all five numbers plus the Powerball to win the $515 million jackpot. Final ticket sales pushed the grand total to $526.5 million, according to the California Lottery.
Below is a recap of Powerball drawings and how long it took to grow from $20 million to the current prize.
Wednesday, April 2: $30 million
Monday, March 31: $20 million
Grand prize indeed! Powerball winner Edwin Castro publicly claimed $2.04 billion jackpot — on Valentine's Day
Powerball drawings are held at 11 p.m. EDT Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, including holidays. According to Powerball.com, players have a 1 in 292.2 million chance to match all six numbers. Prizes range from $2 to the grand prize jackpot, which varies. The next Powerball drawing will be Saturday, April 5.
Prizes for Florida Lottery must be claimed within 180 days (six months) from the date of the drawing. To claim a single-payment cash option, a winner has within the first 60 days after the applicable draw date to claim it.
The Florida Lottery says its scratch-off tickets and Fast Play game prizes "must be claimed within 60 days of the official end-of-game date. Once the applicable time period has elapsed, the related Florida Lottery ticket will expire."
According to Florida Lottery's website, winners cannot remain anonymous: "Florida law mandates that the Florida Lottery provide records containing information such as the winner's name, city of residence; game won, date won, and amount won to any third party who requests the information."
However, the site states, the "names of lottery winners claiming prizes of $250,000 or greater will be temporarily exempt from public disclosure for 90 days from the date the prize is claimed, unless otherwise waived by the winner."
Lottery experts and lawyers have said there are ways to remain anonymous if you win.
