Powerball tonight did not produce a jackpot winner, even as the prize climbed to an estimated $131 million ahead of the next drawing on Saturday, May 23, at around 11 p.m. ET. The winning numbers for Wednesday, May 20, were 10, 28, 30, 46 and 57, with the Powerball 25 and a 3x Power Play multiplier.
No one hit the jackpot, no one won the $2 million Match 5 + Power Play prize and no one took the $1 million Match 5 prize. That leaves players waiting for Saturday’s drawing after a run that last paid out on May 2, when two players, one in Texas and one in Florida, split a $20 million prize and pushed the number of Powerball winners in 2026 to seven, tying the total for 2025.
The game has now gone almost 200 times without a jackpot since it began in 1992, a stretch that helps explain why the top prize keeps growing when nobody matches all six numbers. Powerball tickets cost $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with drawings held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. The states with the most Powerball winners are Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
For players watching the numbers roll in, the immediate answer is simple: the jackpot survived Wednesday night, and the next chance comes Saturday, when the prize will be even larger and the waiting starts again.
