The Powerball jackpot is on the rise with an estimated jackpot of $179 million.
If someone matches all six balls in Monday night's drawing, the winner would take home the grand prize, which currently has a cash option of $82.4 million.
Saturday's winning numbers were 1, 28, 30, 34 and 52 and the red Powerball was 6. 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 10 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, according to lottery officials.
