The Powerball jackpot climbed to an estimated $131 million for Saturday after no ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday night’s drawing, which produced 10, 28, 30, 46 and 57, with the red Powerball 25. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.
The jackpot had stood at $115 million, with a cash value of $50.4 million, ahead of the May 20 drawing. No one won the top prize, the $2 million Match 5 + Power Play prize or the $1 million Match 5 prize, leaving the pool to build again for the next drawing around 11 p.m. ET on Saturday, May 23.
Powerball said the jackpot has been hit almost 200 times since the game began in 1992, and the latest stretch adds another miss after the most recent jackpot win on May 2. That drawing split a $20 million prize between one player in Texas and one in Florida, bringing the number of Powerball winners in 2026 to seven and tying the total from 2025 after that win.
Powerball is sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with tickets priced at $2 per play. Players pick five white balls from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball from 1 to 26. The optional Power Play feature costs $1 and can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X or 10X.
The game’s long run helps explain why the headline prize keeps drawing attention even after repeated rollovers. Powerball said its biggest clusters of winners have come in Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, states that have produced more jackpot hits than the rest of the field. The next drawing will decide whether the streak continues or whether Saturday’s estimated $131 million changes hands.
