The Powerball jackpot is on the rise again, now reaching an estimated $133 million, with a cash option of about $60.3 million for the upcoming drawing in March 2026. Not a bad reason to grab a ticket!
🎯 What happened in the last drawing?
No one hit the jackpot in the Saturday, March 21, 2026 drawing, where the top prize stood at $123 million. That means the prize pool just keeps getting bigger.
Here are the winning numbers from that night:
- 12, 28, 36, 41, 59
- Powerball: 2
- Power Play: 3x
👉 Even more surprising?
- No tickets matched all five white balls, so there were no near-jackpot winners either.
📅 When’s the next Powerball drawing?
Mark your calendar! The next drawing takes place on:
- Monday, March 23, 2026
- Time: 10:59 p.m. ET
You can catch it live online through the official Powerball platform.
💵 How much does it cost to play?
Getting in on the action is simple:
- $2 per ticket
- Add Power Play for $1 extra to multiply non-jackpot prizes (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or even 10x)
✨ That small extra dollar could seriously boost your winnings!
