The winning numbers from Saturday’s drawing were 22, 23, 37, 62 and 63, and 19 was the Powerball number.

There has not been a Powerball jackpot winner since June 5, when Clay Tousey, 69, of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, a trustee of The Love You More Trust, claimed the $286 million winnings from the Powerball drawing. The group elected to take a lump sum of $196,706,252.17. That winning ticket was bought at a Circle-K convenience store in Jacksonville, lottery officials said.

The next drawing for Powerball is Monday night. If a person matches all six numbers, they can take a $392.1 million lump sum amount before taxes.

There was one Match 5 plus Power Play winner of $2 million in Illinois, and there were three Match 5 winners of $1 million in Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, lottery officials said.

The odds of a single ticket winning in Powerball is 1 in 292 million.
