The Powerball jackpot has risen to $172 million after no one won the top prize on Wednesday. To win the grand prize, players must match all six numbers, which includes a one-time cash payment of $79.4 million.
A player in Mississippi won a $2 million prize, while another in Oregon won the first jackpot-winning Powerball ticket of 2025 on January 18 with a $328.5 million prize.
The winning Powerball numbers for Saturday’s drawing are: 45, 3, 56, 54, 16 and a Powerball of 12, with a 2X Power Play multiplier.
To play the Powerball, buy a ticket for $2 at various locations such as convenience stores or gas stations. Players can also add a “Power Play” option for $1 to increase their non-jackpot winnings.
The next Powerball drawing is on Monday, February 17, just after 11 p.m. ET. Tickets can be purchased in person or online through Jackpocket, an official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network.
