The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $58 million ahead of the Wednesday, March 11 drawing, with a cash option of about $26.8 million. The drawing is scheduled for 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time, continuing one of the most widely followed lottery games in the United States.
Powerball drawings take place three times each week — every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday — giving players multiple chances to win the growing prize.

Recent Powerball jackpot winners
The most recent Powerball jackpot win occurred on March 2, 2026, when a single ticket sold in Arkansas claimed an estimated $251 million prize.
Other notable recent jackpot wins include $209 million in North Carolina in January 2026 and the massive $1.82 billion jackpot won in Arkansas in December 2025, one of the largest lottery prizes ever recorded.
Large jackpots have been a recurring feature of the game in recent years, with billion-dollar prizes appearing multiple times since 2023.
Winning combinations and prize levels
Powerball offers several ways to win depending on how many numbers match the official draw. Even matching the Powerball number alone can win a prize.
A ticket matching only the Powerball wins $4. Matching one white ball plus the Powerball also wins $4, while matching two white balls and the Powerball increases the prize to $7.
Players who match three white numbers win $7, while matching three white numbers plus the Powerball boosts the prize to $100.
Matching four white numbers wins $100, while matching four white numbers and the Powerball results in a prize of $50,000.
A ticket that matches all five white numbers but not the Powerball wins $1 million, while matching all five numbers plus the Powerball secures the jackpot itself.
Kentucky jackpot history
In Kentucky, the last Powerball jackpot winner came on April 26, 2025, when a ticket sold in the state claimed an estimated $167.3 million prize.
Lottery officials say jackpots often grow quickly when drawings pass without a winner, which is what has pushed the current prize toward the $60 million mark.
As the next drawing approaches, players across the United States are once again checking their tickets and hoping the numbers align.
