Saturday’s Powerball jackpot totaled $565 million. Did you win?

WASHINGTON — No one won the Powerball jackpot Wednesday, pushing the total to $565 million for Saturday’s drawing.

While there was no jackpot winner, three tickets — one each from New Hampshire, Oregon and Texas — won the $1 million prize for matching all five regular numbers. Players have the ability to win a maximum of $2 million if they match all five regular numbers with a red Powerball number of two or above. 

Saturday’s Powerball jackpot had a lump sum cash value of $255.3 million. That’s the option most winners take, as opposed to the full value paid out as an annuity. 

Winning Powerball Numbers for Wednesday, Aug. 16

Saturday’s winning numbers were 23-40-49-65-69 with a red Powerball number 23. The Power Play multiplier was 3x. 

If a winner matches all five numbers and the Powerball, they have the option to take the full jackpot paid out over 30 years, or a smaller cash payout. Winners almost always take the cash option.

Even with the smaller lump sum payout, federal taxes will eat into those winnings, and some states also tax big lottery prizes. 

What are the odds of winning the Powerball?

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are one in 292.2 million. The odds of matching all five white balls and winning the $1 million prize are 1 in 11,688,053. The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.87.

When is the Powerball drawing?

The Powerball drawing takes place live at 10:59 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets, which cost $2 per play, are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
