Powerball jackpot rises to $352M ahead of tonight's drawing
The Powerball jackpot continues to rise with an estimated jackpot of $352 million.
If someone matches all six balls in Monday night's drawing, the winner would take home the grand prize, which currently has a cash option of $163.3 million.
Saturday's winning numbers were 27, 33, 63, 66 and 68 and the red Powerball was 9 . The Power Play was 2X.
Although no one won Saturday's jackpot prize, a ticket purchased in Iowa matched all five white balls and purchased the Power Play option for a $2 million prize, according to lottery officials.
Powerball drawings are held each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. EST. Drawings can be viewed live at powerball.com/watch-drawing.
The Powerball jackpot was last hit in the Oct. 11, 2023 drawing, when a ticket in California matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to win a grand prize worth $1.765 billion, which was the second-largest prize in Powerball history. Since then, there have been 19 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, according to lottery officials.
