Powerball jackpot climbs to $800 million after no one wins big Saturday

(Gray News) - The estimated Powerball jackpot reached $800 million after no one matched all six numbers drawn Saturday night. It would be the sixth-largest prize in the lottery’s history.

The numbers drawn Saturday night were 6, 23, 25, 34, 51 and 3.

Though no one won the jackpot, five tickets matched five of the numbers drawn to win $1 million. Those tickets were sold in California, Florida, Indiana, Texas and Washington.

The next drawing will be held Monday night.

The top prize has been growing since it was last won by a ticket in Michigan on Jan. 1. A winner can take their prize money as an annuity or opt for a lump-sum payout of $384.8 million.

The largest Powerball jackpot ever was $2.04 billion, won on a single ticket in California in November 2022.

Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
