The jackpot prize for the Jan. 8 Powerball restarted to an estimated $20 million with a cash value of $14.20 million. The Saturday winning numbers were 20, 21, 36, 60 and 65. The Powerball drawn was 13 with a Power Play of 10x.

There are no reported winners of the jackpot and the second prize. Meanwhile, a total of eight players won the third prize, which is $50,000, while four players with a Power Play purchase won $500,000. They matched four of the white ball numbers and the red Powerball. A lot won smaller prizes, including 262 players who matched four white ball numbers, which put their winnings at $100, while 77 people with Power Play won $1,000.

It was recently announced that the previous $630 million jackpot was taken home by two lucky winners — one from California and another one from Wisconsin. The players matched the five white balls and a red ball from the Wednesday draw.

The next Powerball draw will be on Jan. 10 with an estimated grand prize of $27 million with a cash value of $18.70 million.

To get a chance to win the grand prize, a player must match the six numbers on their ticket to the drawn six-number combination. The five numbers need to be selected from 1 to 69 for the white balls, while the remaining number is selected from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball.

To claim jackpot prizes, the winners will have options, they can either select their prize as an annuity or a lump-sum payment. The annuity guarantees the winner to receive 30 graduated payments over 29 years. The annual payments increase by 5% until the 30th and final payment. The 30 payments added up equal the value of the annuity.

The Powerball costs $2 per play. Powerball is available in 45 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

Drawings are held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:59 pm ET. Meanwhile the sales cut-off times vary depending on the selling jurisdiction, mostly by one to two hours before the drawing schedule.

The Powerball drawing is aired live on TV stations throughout the state; WBKB-TV 11 (CBS), WDIV-TV 4 (NBC), WNEM-TV 5 (CBS), WXSP-TV (MyNetwork TV), WLAJ-TV 53 (ABC), WMKG-TV 38 (IND), WLUC-TV 6 (NBC/FOX) and WGTU-TV 29/WGTQ-TV 8 (ABC).
