A Powerball drawing on Saturday, Oct. 4 produced no jackpot winner but yielded multiple large prizes across several states and pushed the top prize to an estimated $207 million for the next drawing on Monday, Oct. 6. The winning numbers for the Oct. 4 drawing were 3, 7, 47, 67 and 68, with a Powerball of 2 and a Power Play multiplier of 2x, lottery officials said.

The North Carolina Education Lottery reported that a ticket sold at a MAPCO service station in Waynesville matched four numbers plus the Powerball and, with the Power Play, won $100,000. The Texas Lottery said one ticket in Texas also won $100,000 after matching four white balls and the Powerball with the Power Play multiplier, and another Texas player captured $50,000. The California Lottery reported a ticket that matched four numbers plus the Powerball and won $36,988; California adjusts prize amounts based on sales and the number of winners.

Nationally, Powerball officials said nearly 550,000 tickets won prizes in the Oct. 4 drawing, with payouts ranging from $4 to $100,000. Because no one matched all five white balls and the red Powerball, the jackpot rolled over to an estimated $207 million for the Monday drawing,...
