UK Player Secures Second $1 Million Powerball Match 5 Prize
The UK has produced its second $1 million Match 5 Powerball winner since the game’s launch earlier this year. The September 21 draw (numbers 2-7-9-17-58, Powerball 20) rolled the jackpot to $332 million after no top prize winner. Recent US Match 5 wins occurred in New York, Georgia, and Ohio, plus an unclaimed $3M ticket in Pennsylvania.
SCCG Take — Repeated early UK wins confirm Powerball’s cross-border draw and tiered prize structure as effective for new markets, even absent jackpot hits.
A second player in the United Kingdom has won a $1 million Match 5 prize from Powerball. The game launched in the UK earlier this year. The first such win occurred a few weeks ago, and this latest payout stems from the September 21 drawing, according to reporting by GamblingNews.
That draw carried a jackpot of $314 million with a cash value of $133.8 million. The white balls were 2, 7, 9, 17, and 58. The Powerball was 20 and the Power Play multiplier was 2x. No ticket matched all six numbers.
Prize Distribution in the September 21 Drawing
The UK Match 5 winner claimed $1 million. The drawing did not have a Match 5 + Power Play win of $2 million. Fourteen players matched four white balls plus the Powerball. Eight of them won $50,000 each. The other six took $100,000 each with the multiplier applied.
With no jackpot winner, the top prize has risen to $332 million ahead of the Wednesday draw. The cash option stands at $141.7 million. The source provides no further details on the UK winner’s identity or location beyond the seven-figure payout in the county.
Recent Match 5 Activity in the United States
The UK win follows a $1 million Match 5 prize claimed by a player in New York from the September 19 drawing. One week earlier, separate Match 5 prizes went to players in Georgia ($1 million) and Ohio ($2 million). A $3 million winning ticket was sold in South Park Township, Pennsylvania. The claimant has not yet come forward.
These tiered payouts show how Powerball distributes substantial sums short of the jackpot. The repeat UK success arrives early in the product’s availability there.
