Will a $2 Powerball ticket turn someone into a multi-millionaire? As they say in the lottery industry, “it can happen to you.”

After no one matched all five numbers plus the Powerball in the $303 million drawing on Wednesday, January 15, the top prize jumped to $331 million for Saturday, January 18. The lump sum would be $147.5 million online, according to Powerball. Saturday’s winning numbers were 14-31-35-64-69 and Powerball was 23. Power Play was 2x. We’ll see if there’s a winner or another rollover.

If you are wondering, Wednesday’s winning numbers was 8-41-52-53-58 and Powerball was 7. Power Play was 3x. While that resulted in a rollover, it wasn’t all bad news: There was one big winner in Wednesday’s drawing. A ticket purchased in Ohio matched 5 for a $1 million prize.

Tickets start at $2 each. Below is what you need 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!
