Powerball Jackpot Prize: The Powerball jackpot prize has risen to an estimated value of $1.04 billion after no one bought the latest drawing on Saturday (Sept 30). The night ended without a winner. This estimated prize heading to the next Powerball drawing on Monday (Oct 2)&nbsp;is the fourth-largest prize in the game's history.&nbsp;

The annuity prize is estimated worth $1.04 billion, whereas the second option, a sum paid to the winner right away is $478.2 million. Both are pretax estimates.

The winning numbers drawn on Saturday were 19, 30, 37, 44 and 46 with a red Powerball number 22. Although no tickets matched all six numbers, some players did win small prizes after purchasing tickets with partial matches, according to the game.&nbsp;

In a statement released on Sunday, Powerball said that more than 2.5 million tickets were purchased ahead of the latest draw.

Five tickets purchased in Florida, Maryland, Michigan and Pennsylvania matched all five numbers of white balls and won a prize of $1 million. Similarly, two other tickets won in Indiana and North Carolina matched all five white balls, but won $2 million prizes as the ticket holders bought them with the Power Play multiplier and an additional feature that increases earnings by the "multiplier factor" on a given night. The multiplier factor of Saturday was 2x.

The Powerball jackpots have climbed the $1 billion mark twice: once in January 2016 when a $1.586 billion grand prize ticket was purchased in California, Florida and Tessesse; and again in November 2022, when a ticket purchased in California won the largest jackpot prize ever worth $2.04 billion.&nbsp;

The Powerball drawings happen weekly, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 pm ET at the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. Moreover, individuals can live stream on Powerball.com. The cost of each Powerball ticket is $2. They're available in 45 states of the United States, including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. The company Powerball says the odds of&nbsp;winning a prize&nbsp;are 1 in 24.9 million and the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.

New research has revealed a troubling global trend: approximately 40 per cent of people living with diabetes don't even know it, they remain undiagnosed.&nbsp;

This is as per the 2023 diabetes global industry overview, which, as per the Guardian, is the most extensive survey of its kind to date.

<h2>Research findings</h2>

The research found that the majority of undiagnosed cases are concentrated in certain regions, with Africa topping the list at 60 per cent, followed closely by south-east Asia at 57 per cent and the western Pacific region at 56 per cent.&nbsp;

This data paints a stark picture of diabetes awareness and diagnosis worldwide. It also revealed that half of those who are diagnosed with diabetes do not receive treatment.

About three in four people live in low and middle-income countries, where access to healthcare services can be limited.

Sasha Korogodski, the lead researcher of the report, pointed out that while over 530 companies worldwide specialise in diabetes diagnostics, only 33 are located in the regions most affected by undiagnosed cases — Africa, south-east Asia and the western Pacific.&nbsp;

"Limited healthcare infrastructure, including a shortage of healthcare professionals and diagnostic equipment, can impede the early diagnosis of diabetes," said Korogodski.

<h2>The data</h2>

This research looks at over 2,800 companies, 1,500 investors, and 80 research and development hubs devoted to diabetes to evaluate the global impact of this condition.

Caroline Mbindyo, CEO of Amref Health Innovations, part of the NGO Amref Health Africa, emphasised that half of all Africans lack access to essential healthcare.&nbsp;

For many in remote areas, reaching a healthcare facility can take hours or even days, said Mbindyo.

Despite substantial investments, diabetes remains a significant contributor to global mortality. In 2021, nearly 7 million deaths worldwide were attributed to diabetes, with over $970 billion spent on treatment. It also found that most of the organisations involved in diabetes research and care — over 70 companies, or 55 per cent globally&nbsp; — are located in the United States.
