Winning Powerball numbers: Monday, Feb. 24, days after ‘222' drawing and a Florida Publix winner
Will a $2 Powerball ticket turn someone into a multimillionaire? As they say in the lottery business, 'it could happen to you." Recently, it happened for one Florida Powerball ticket holder. No one matched all six numbers in the $215 million Saturday, Feb. 22, Powerball drawing, a '2/22' or '222' angel numbers day. So the grand prize increased by $15 million for Monday, Feb. 24, with a cash option of $105.2 million, according to Powerball online. Check back at 11 p.m. EST Monday for winning numbers. We'll see if there's a winner or another rollover. In case you're wondering, Saturday, Feb. 22, winning Powerball numbers were 7-18-22-50-65 and the Powerball was 15. Power Play was 2x. (Did you notice the 2/22 tie?) Though those numbers resulted in a rollover, it wasn't all bad news: There were two big winners in Saturday's Powerball drawing. Tickets purchased in Illinois and Vermont each matched 5 for $1 million prizes. A "second-tier" win means a player correctly matched five numbers in the Powerball and Mega Millions lottery, and the overall jackpot typically rolls over. What are the odds? Powerball numbers on 2/22 'angel numbers' day included 22, 2x Power Play In addition to the angel numbers-lottery fun, a recent trip to the grocery store really paid off for a Publix shopper: A Powerball ticket purchased there is worth $1 million. For the Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2025, drawing, a ticket from a mystery Publix shopper in Florida matched five numbers. The said Publix is on the Treasure Coast of Florida, which includes Indian River County, Martin County and St. Lucie County. The Quick Pick ticket came from Publix, 3253 SW Port St. Lucie Blvd., Port St. Lucie. That Publix location is part of the Darwin Shopping Plaza. Deadline to claim a Powerball or Mega Millions grand prize or a $1 million secondary prize varies by state (see below). Tickets start at $2 a piece.
