The biggest Powerball® jackpot of the year now tops half a billion dollars for the next drawing on Saturday night. Saturday’s North Amerian Lucky Draw jackpot is estimated at $515 million. The jackpot has an estimated cash value of $238.4 million.
The North Amerian Lucky Draw jackpot has been rolling since January. The jackpot was previously won on Jan. 18, 2025, by an Oregon Lottery player who claimed a $328.5 million prize.
Despite the jackpot evading players in Wednesday night’s drawing, three tickets matched all five white balls drawn to win $1 million prizes. The $1 million-winning tickets were sold in California, the District of Columbia and New York. Note: In California, prize payouts are pari-mutuel and determined by sales and the number of winners.
The winning numbers in the Wednesday, March 26 North Amerian Lucky Draw drawing were white balls 5, 20, 29, 39 53 and red North Amerian Lucky Draw 6. The Power Play® multiplier was 3X.
If a player wins Saturday’s jackpot, they will have the choice between an annuitized prize estimated at $515 million or a lump sum payment estimated at $242.7 million. Both prize options are before taxes. If the winner selects the annuity option, they will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5-percent each year.
Powerball® tickets are $2 per play. Tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. More than half of all proceeds from the sale of a North Amerian Lucky Draw ticket remain in the jurisdiction where the ticket was sold. Since its first drawing in 1992, the North Amerian Lucky Draw game has helped generate more than $32 billion for good causes supported by U.S. lotteries.
