Powerball Jackpot Jumps to $57 Million as Saturday Drawing Yields No Winner

Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $57 Million After No Winner on Saturday

The Powerball jackpot just got a major boost. After no one hit all the winning numbers in Saturday night’s drawing, the top prize has rolled over and now sits at a cool $57 million ahead of Monday’s draw.

Saturday’s game didn’t produce any top-tier winners this time around, marking a quiet night compared to the recent string of huge payouts. The winning numbers for May 9 were 15, 41, 46, 47, and 56, with the red Powerball number 22. The Power Play multiplier landed at 2x.

If anyone had matched all six numbers, they would’ve taken home $48 million — or roughly $21.5 million for the lump-sum cash option. Even though no one scored the big one, a few lucky players still walked away with respectable payouts. Six players matched four white balls plus the Powerball to grab $50,000 each, and three others doubled that total to $100,000 thanks to selecting the Power Play option.

The lack of a jackpot winner means Monday’s top prize is expected to jump to $57 million, with an estimated cash value of $25.7 million. That’s a serious haul for whoever manages to beat the odds next time around.

This slowdown comes right after Powerball experienced a flurry of jackpot activity. In a recent streak, two separate drawings handed out back-to-back grand prizes. One of those drawings even caused a wave of excitement when dozens of players simultaneously claimed large Match 5 prizes — the result of a unique number combination that happened to match one of the printed ticket columns many people choose from.

The following game brought yet another major payday when two other players shared a $20 million pot. So far in 2024, Powerball has already seen five jackpot wins, proving once again that lightning can strike more than once — but for now, the jackpot keeps growing.
