Summary
The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday, March 28, 2026, and lottery players across the United States will be chasing an estimated $166 million jackpot. Officials list the cash value at $74.5 million, giving players a fresh shot at a sizable prize heading into the weekend.
The jackpot rolled over after no ticket matched all six numbers in the Wednesday, March 25 drawing. In that drawing, the winning numbers were 7, 21, 55, 56, 64, with Powerball 26 and a Power Play multiplier of 4x. While there was no jackpot winner, officials reported one $2 million Match 5 + Power Play winner in Massachusetts and one $1 million Match 5 winner in Florida.
Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. The drawing is also live streamed on Powerball.com, which has become the easiest official viewing option for players who want to follow the results in real time.
For players planning to buy a ticket, Powerball tickets cost $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Officials also note that sales cut-off times vary by jurisdiction, typically ending one to two hours before the drawing.
Even when the jackpot sits below the game’s headline-grabbing billion-dollar runs, Powerball remains one of the most watched lottery draws in North America because of its national footprint and the rapid way the prize can climb after a short series of rollovers. The game’s overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24.87, while the jackpot odds are 1 in 292,201,338.
Saturday’s drawing may not yet be in record territory, but a $166 million prize is still large enough to draw heavy interest from casual players and regular lottery followers alike. With no jackpot winner on Wednesday, attention now shifts to whether the next drawing will produce a winner or push the prize pool even higher for the next cycle.
