The Powerball jackpot is heating up again, now climbing to an estimated $45 million, with a cash option of about $20.5 million. If you’ve been thinking about playing, this might be your moment.
🎯 What happened in the last drawing?
Saturday night’s drawing on April 11, 2026 didn’t produce a jackpot winner. The top prize of $36 million is still up for grabs, which means the pot just keeps getting bigger.
Winning numbers from April 11:
- 6, 47, 49, 53, 60
- Powerball: 6
- Power Play: 2x
👉 While no one hit the jackpot, one lucky ticket in California matched all five white balls, scoring a solid $1 million prize.
⏰ When’s the next drawing?
Mark your calendar! The next Powerball drawing is set for:
- Monday, April 12, 2026
