CLEVELAND — Although nobody hit the massive $1.2 billion jackpot in the latest Powerball drawing that was held Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022, the Ohio Lottery says there are still thousands of people taking home smaller amounts of prize money -- including two winners who hit $100,000.
Those smaller prizes sold in Ohio are listed as follows:

The lucky numbers in the drawing from Wednesday night were 2, 11, 22, 35, 60 with Powerball 23. The Power Play option was 2x.
The jackpot now soars to an estimated $1.5 billion with a cash option worth $745.9 million for the next Powerball drawing on Saturday, Nov. 5.
