Powerball Jackpot Reaches $707 Million After Saturday Drawing Produces No Grand Prize Winner

Saturday's Powerball drawing yielded winning numbers 6, 17, 27, 48, 50, with a Powerball of 5 and a Power Play multiplier of 3x. No tickets matched all six numbers in the drawing, sending the jackpot to $707 million for the upcoming contest, with a cash alternative valued at $307.3 million.

Winning Numbers and Prize Structure

The Powerball lottery holds drawings three times weekly—every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at approximately 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Players select five numbers from a range, plus a separate Powerball number. A standard ticket costs $2, with optional add-ons available to increase winning potential or gain additional drawing opportunities.

Matching even a single number can yield a prize, though only the Powerball number alone results in a $4 win. Combining two regular numbers generates no prize unless one is the Powerball itself. The prize structure rewards only those who match the Powerball or combine it with at least one regular number. For comprehensive prize details, players should consult powerball.com.

Multiplier and Secondary Play Options

The Power Play multiplier, set at 3x for Saturday's drawing, allows winners to multiply all prizes except the jackpot. Alternatively, players can add Double Play for an extra $1, which provides a second chance to win $10 million. These optional features let participants customize their ticket based on preference and budget.

Mega Millions, the competing lottery game, recorded a separate drawing on Friday with winning numbers 4, 18, 26, 43, 51, and a Mega Ball of 4. That game's jackpot now stands at $60 million, with a cash option of $25.5 million, after no ticket matched all six winning numbers.
