The Powerball jackpot rose to $707 million after no tickets matched all six numbers during Wednesday’s drawing.
The numbers drawn were 30-36-40-42-57, and the Powerball 2. There was a 2X Power Play multiplier.
The next drawing on Saturday will be worth an estimated $707 million with a cash value of $309.7 million.
One ticket sold in Maryland matched five numbers and was worth $1 million.
The Powerball jackpot has not been won since May 2, 2026, when two tickets sold in Florida and Texas split a $20 million jackpot, lottery officials said.
If a player wins the jackpot on Saturday, they may choose to receive the prize as an annuity, paid out in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or as a one-time lump-sum cash payment. Both prize options are before applicable federal and state taxes.
