The Powerball jackpot has reached $715.8 million with the latest draw on Saturday night.
Here are the winning numbers in order: 34, 14, 11, 47, 51 and 18, with a PowerPlay multiplier of 2x.
The $700 million jackpot has an annuity option, which is paid over 30 years. The cash option through Mega Millions holds a value of $316 million.
Wednesday’s total prize of $650 million did not produce a winner. The winning numbers drawn were: 31, 59, 62, 65, 68 and 5, with a PowerPlay of 2x.
Wednesday’s drawing did produce two notable winners, however. A ticket in Tennessee claimed a $2 million prize, while one ticket in each of Michigan and Oklahoma saw a $1 million winner.
No one has won Powerball’s jackpot since May 31, 2025. If there is no winner on Saturday, the next drawing will occur on Monday, Aug. 25.
