The Powerball jackpot continues to grow, now at an estimated $645 million, after nobody won the grand prize during Saturday night's drawing.
The Powerball jackpot rose to an estimated $645 million after no tickets matched the winning numbers during Saturday's drawing. The winning numbers Saturday night were: 12, 23, 44, 57, 61 and a red Powerball 5. The Power Play was 2X. While nobody won the estimated $600 million Saturday night, three players – one each in Michigan, New Jersey and South Carolina – won $1 million after matching all five white balls.
The grand prize now sits at an estimated $645 million, which carries a one-time cash payout option of $307.3 million. Winners typically select the cash prize over the annuity option, which is paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments. The next drawing will be held Monday night. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. The jackpot was last won on Jan. 1 when a player in Michigan won the $842.4 million grand prize.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are one in 292.2 million. Powerball is played in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The game says more than half of the proceeds from ticket sales remain in the jurisdiction where they were sold.
