Are you ready for a life-changing opportunity? This Saturday night, someone could become a millionaire if they play their numbers right! The Powerball jackpot has skyrocketed to an estimated $700 million, making it one of the largest prizes in the game’s illustrious history. With no winner in the last drawing held on Wednesday night, the excitement builds for the upcoming draw.
The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for 10:59 p.m. ET on Saturday. This estimated jackpot is not just any prize; it's the biggest Powerball grand prize in over a year, according to a recent news release. The current jackpot has already surpassed the largest of 2025, as the game has remained without a winner since the last lucky ticket holder on May 31.
As we approach the 36th drawing, the question on everyone's mind is: will this be the night that finally brings home a winner? If you’re fortunate enough to win in Saturday’s drawing, you’ll have two options for your prize: you can either take the full jackpot amount, which is paid out over 30 years, or opt for a one-time cash option of approximately $316.3 million. Keep in mind that both amounts are before taxes.
In the history of Powerball, there have been five jackpots exceeding $1 billion. The largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history was an astounding $2.04 billion, which was won by a single ticket in Altadena, California, on November 7, 2022. These colossal figures highlight the life-changing potential of participating in this exciting game.
Don’t miss your chance to play for the Powerball jackpot this Saturday night! Whether you’re a seasoned player or a newcomer, now is the perfect time to try your luck and maybe become the next big winner.
