Overview
- The drawing that took place Saturday produced the numbers 5, 9, 35, 54, 63 and Powerball 7 and left no grand-prize winner, boosting the annuitized jackpot to an estimated $905 million.
- Saturday’s secondary big prizes included one Texas ticket that won $2 million with Power Play and four $1 million tickets sold in Arizona, Florida, Michigan and New York.
- The cash option for the advertised prize is about $391.9 million and federal withholding plus top marginal taxes would cut a lump-sum winner’s take-home by roughly half, according to tax estimates.
- Lottery officials say the recent launch of Powerball in the U.K. has increased the player base and could be helping jackpots climb faster, though they caution it is too early to draw firm conclusions.
- Odds of winning the grand prize are about 1 in 292.2 million, drawings are held Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and the next drawing for the $905 million prize is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 10.
