- No winning ticket for the Powerball jackpot on Saturday
- The jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.1 billion
The Powerball numbers drawn on Saturday were 1, 28, 31, 57, 58, with the red Powerball being 16.
With no tickets matching all six numbers during the latest drawing, Powerball has gone 42 drawings without a jackpot victory, setting a record for the longest interval without a win.
“This current jackpot trend is uniting people in their dreams during this holiday season,” remarked Matt Strawn, chair of the Powerball Product Group and CEO of the Iowa Lottery. “Just one $2 Powerball ticket offers a chance to win this jackpot, while also supporting good causes within your community.”
Strawn also urged players to “participate responsibly.”
Powerball is available in 45 states, along with Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The odds of winning the jackpot are more than 1 in 292.2 million, while the probability of winning any prize is 1 in 24.9.
The jackpot now stands at an estimated $1.1 billion for the upcoming drawing on Monday at 10:59 PM ET, originating from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. The cash option available is $503.4 million. At $1.1 billion, this jackpot ranks as the sixth-largest in Powerball history.

Avoid Gifting Lottery Tickets to Children
U.S. lotteries are advising against gifting lottery tickets to minors or anyone not of legal playing age. As reported by Casino.org, the National Council on Problem Gambling has collaborated with a record 67 lotteries to highlight the message that lottery tickets are poor gift options for children.
“Youth are increasingly exposed to gambling before they’re ready to grasp the associated risks. Through our Gift Responsibly and Too Young to Bet initiatives, we aim to provide parents and educators with essential information to keep gambling away from children,” stated Derek Longmeier, president of the NCPG board.
