Powerball Jackpot Climbs To $950 Million After No Winner

Nobody matched all six winning numbers in Wednesday's Powerball drawing (9-12-22-41-61, Powerball - 25). That means the jackpot for Saturday's drawing will soar from $850 million to $950 million!

Six lucky players matched all five of the non-Powerball numbers for $1 million payouts. Three of those players spent the extra buck for the Powerplay option to double their winnings to $2 million.

The estimated $950 million jackpot ranks as the 6th largest Powerball top prize in the game's history. The largest Powerball jackpot happened in November 2022. A lone winner in California won that record-setting $2.04 billion jackpot.
