Powerball Jackpot Hits $263 Million After No Winning Tickets

The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $263 million after no tickets matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing. The winning numbers were 3, 6, 32, 37, 65, and the Powerball was 4. The Power Play multiplier was 3X.

According to Powerball officials, the cash option for the jackpot stands at $115.3 million. Drawings are held three times a week—every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday—at approximately 10:59 p.m. ET. A single Powerball ticket costs $2, with an additional $1 option to add the Power Play, which multiplies non-jackpot winnings.

Players can also opt for the Double Play feature for an extra $1, offering a second chance to win up to $10 million. While matching just the Powerball number earns a $4 prize, matching two numbers without the Powerball does not yield a win.

Meanwhile, the Mega Millions jackpot continues to grow as well, with Friday night’s drawing yielding no top prize winners. The winning numbers were 9, 23, 39, 65, 66, and the Mega Ball was 22. The Megaplier was 3X. The Mega Millions jackpot is now estimated at $77 million, with a cash option of $34.1 million.

Powerball and Mega Millions remain two of the most popular lottery games in the U.S., with jackpots often reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. The all-time record for a Powerball jackpot is $2.04 billion, won in November 2022.

For those hoping to strike it rich, tickets can be purchased in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Winners have the option to receive their prize as a lump sum or in annual installments over 30 years.
