There were a total of 28 $50,000 winners nationwide in Saturday's drawing, with one winner from Wisconsin. In total, Wisconsin recorded 9,939 Powerball winners from this draw with prizes ranging from $4 to $50,000. The game offers nine prize levels.
No player matched all five numbers plus the Powerball in this draw. As a result, the jackpot for Monday night's drawing has grown to an estimated $501 million.
