Powerball Jackpot Now $187 Million
There was no big money winner in Saturday's Powerball multi-state lottery game. That means there will be even more money for you and me to win on Wednesday when the ping pong balls drop again.
The anticipated jackpot for Wednesday night's drawing is expected to be $187 million. If you choose the cash payout that's $116.4 million for you. Of course, Uncle Sam will want a nice chunk of that so don't go buying a private island just yet.
The winning numbers in the Saturday, July 15, 2017, drawing were:
There was a $2 million winning ticket that was sold in Arkansas. That ticket matched all five of the white balls but didn't match the Powerball. The ticket also had the Powerplay feature added.
The next Powerball drawing will be Wednesday night at 9:59 Louisiana time. By rule, ticket sales must cease one hour before the official drawing.
