Powerball Jackpot Soars to Staggering $1.7 Billion for Saturday’s Drawing

The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.70 billion for the upcoming drawing on Saturday night, capturing nationwide attention. With an estimated cash value of $770.3 million, this monumental prize now stands as the third-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.

The jackpot escalated after no tickets matched all six numbers in last night’s drawing (white balls 3, 16, 29, 61, 69, and red Powerball 22). Despite no grand prize winner, millions of players secured other cash prizes. Eleven tickets nationwide matched all five white balls to win $1 million, with an additional four tickets increasing their winnings to $2 million by opting for the Power Play feature.

This Saturday’s drawing marks the 42nd consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner, extending the game’s record streak since the last win on May 31, 2025. Potential winners will have the choice between the annuitized $1.70 billion prize or a lump sum cash payment of $770.3 million, both before taxes. Powerball drawings are held live every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET.
