WASHINGTON — It’s once again time to check your Powerball tickets to see if you won the jackpot now $700 million jackpot. 

Saturday’s Powerball jackpot had a lump sum cash value of $316 million. That’s the option most winners take, as opposed to the full value paid out as an annuity. 

Players also have a chance to win $1 million, or $2 million with the Power Play option, if they match all five regular numbers without the Powerball.

Saturday’s winning numbers were 11-14-34-47-51 with a red Powerball number 18. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
