Jackpot Increases After No Winner in Monday’s Drawing
The Powerball jackpot has surged to an impressive $353 million after no tickets matched all six numbers in Monday’s drawing. With no grand prize winner, the jackpot continues to grow, offering an estimated one-time cash payout of $165.7 million for the upcoming drawing on Wednesday.
Lottery officials confirmed that no tickets secured the $2 million or $1 million secondary prizes in the recent drawing. The last jackpot-winning ticket was sold in Oregon earlier this year on January 18, when a fortunate player claimed a $328.5 million prize. As excitement builds for the next draw, players across the country are eagerly purchasing their tickets, hoping to strike it rich.
Winning Numbers for March 12 Drawing and Next Scheduled Draw
The winning numbers for the Powerball drawing on Wednesday,l March 12, were 11, 13, 28, 51, and 58, with the Powerball number 1. The Power Play multiplier for this drawing was 2X. Lottery officials will soon announce whether any lucky ticket holders matched all six numbers to win the grand prize.
Powerball Jackpot drawings take place three times a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays—at approximately 11 p.m. ET. If no one claims the jackpot, the prize money continues to roll over, making future drawings even more enticing. The next Powerball drawing is set for Saturday, March 15, with hopeful participants eager to see if they will be the next big winner.
How to Play and Where to Purchase Tickets
Playing Powerball Jackpot is simple. Tickets cost $2 and can be purchased at a variety of locations, including gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery outlets. In select states, online ticket purchasing is also available through authorized digital lottery couriers. Players must select six numbers—five white balls ranging from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball ranging from 1 to 26. Those who prefer not to choose their numbers can opt for the “Quick Pick” feature, which generates a random selection.
For an additional $1, players can add the “Power Play” option, which multiplies non-jackpot winnings by up to 10 times. The thrill of the game lies in matching all five white balls and the Powerball, but smaller prizes can be won by matching fewer numbers. As anticipation builds, millions of hopefuls will be watching the next drawing closely, dreaming of a life-changing windfall.
