The latest drawing of the Powerball lottery has produced a fresh set of winning numbers but no jackpot winner, meaning the grand prize will roll over to the next draw and continue growing.

According to lottery officials, the winning numbers for the Saturday, March 7, 2026 Powerball drawing were:

17, 18, 30, 50, 68 — Powerball: 24 — Power Play: 3x.

The jackpot for the draw was estimated at about $37 million, with a cash option of roughly $16.9 million.

Officials confirmed that no ticket matched all five white balls plus the Powerball, meaning the top prize was not claimed.





No Jackpot Winner, But Million-Dollar Prize Awarded

While the jackpot remained unclaimed, lottery records indicate that at least one ticket matched all five white numbers but missed the Powerball, winning a $1 million second-tier prize. The ticket was sold in Florida, according to lottery results.

Lower-tier prizes were also awarded to players who matched smaller combinations of numbers, which can range from a few dollars to tens of thousands depending on the Power Play multiplier and numbers matched.

How the Powerball Lottery Works

Powerball is one of the largest multi-state lotteries in the United States, played across 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Players select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. A ticket costs $2, with an optional Power Play add-on that multiplies non-jackpot prizes.

Drawings are held three times a week — Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, giving players multiple chances to win.

The odds of winning the jackpot are extremely small — roughly 1 in 292 million, according to lottery statistics.

Jackpot Expected to Grow in Next Drawing

Because the top prize was not won Saturday night, the jackpot will roll over to the next drawing scheduled for Monday, March 9, 2026.

When a rollover occurs, the jackpot increases as ticket sales accumulate, often leading to significantly larger prizes if multiple drawings pass without a winner. Such rollovers have historically led to massive jackpots reaching hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.

Lottery officials are urging players to check their tickets carefully, as smaller prizes can still be claimed even without hitting the jackpot.

Global Attention on Massive Lottery Jackpots

Powerball regularly attracts global attention due to its enormous prizes. In recent years, the game has produced some of the largest lottery jackpots in history, including a record $2.04 billion Powerball prize won in 2023.

The possibility of life-changing winnings continues to drive strong ticket sales across participating states, particularly when jackpots climb after repeated rollovers.

With no winner on Saturday, anticipation is already building ahead of Monday’s draw, where millions of players will again try their luck.
