The Powerball jackpot continues to rise with an estimated jackpot of $400 million.
If someone matches all six balls in Saturday night's drawing, the winner would take home the grand prize, which currently has a cash option of $185.6 million.
Wednesday's winning numbers were 6, 47, 50, 61 and 68. The Powerball was 4, and the Power Play was 2X.
Powerball drawings are held each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. EST. Drawings can be viewed live at powerball.com/watch-drawing.
The Powerball jackpot was last hit in the Oct. 11, 2023 drawing, when a ticket in California matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to win a grand prize worth $1.765 billion, which was the second-largest prize in Powerball history. Since then, there have been 21 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, according to lottery officials.
