The Powerball jackpot has soared to an impressive $112 million for the upcoming drawing on Saturday night, following a draw on Wednesday that did not yield any jackpot winners. The lottery officials have reported that the cash value of the jackpot is approximately $56.5 million after taxes have been deducted.
The winning numbers will be drawn shortly after 11 p.m. ET on Saturday, and updates with the results will be made available as soon as they are confirmed.
As anticipation builds for the Saturday drawing, it’s worth noting that the Mega Millions jackpot has also seen a significant increase, reaching an eye-popping $800 million. This excitement around lotteries has drawn attention to the potential of winning big.
The winning numbers for the Powerball drawing on September 7 were 14, 34, 37, 55, and 63, with a Powerball number of 20. Additionally, players could opt for the Power Play option, which for this drawing was set at 2X.
Players are encouraged to keep their tickets handy, as the results will be posted as soon as they are released. Individuals interested in historical data can find a complete list of previous Powerball winners by visiting the official lottery website.
For those new to the game, purchasing a Powerball ticket is quite straightforward. Tickets can be bought at local convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery retailers, with some states offering the option to buy online as well.
To play Powerball, a player must select a total of six numbers. This includes five white balls numbered from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball number ranging from 1 to 26. To increase the odds of winning, players have the opportunity to add the “Power Play” feature for an additional $1, which enhances the winnings for all non-jackpot prizes. This multiplier can be 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or even 10X, depending on the draw.
For those who prefer a quicker method, players can request a “Quick Pick” option, where a cashier provides randomly generated numbers on a printed ticket. Powerball drawings occur three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, with the jackpot amount increasing if there are no winners.
Tickets for the Powerball can be purchased at a variety of locations, including gas stations, convenience stores, and some grocery stores. Additionally, certain airport terminals may also sell lottery tickets.
For online purchasing, players in select U.S. states and territories can utilize the Jackpocket app, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network.
