The Powerball jackpot climbed to an estimated $180 million ahead of the Monday, March 30, 2026 drawing, keeping lottery players across the United States watching closely for a breakthrough win. With a cash value of approximately $80.8 million, the latest draw continued a growing streak without a jackpot winner.
The winning numbers for the most recent completed draw on Saturday, March 28 were 11, 42, 43, 59, and 61, with the Powerball number 25. The Power Play multiplier was 4x. Despite strong participation, no ticket matched all numbers to claim the top prize.
What are the winning numbers for the March 30 Powerball?
Winning Numbers

Power Play: 2x
Jackpot Builds as Previous Prize Remains Unclaimed
The continued rollover comes just weeks after a ticket sold in Arkansas secured a massive $251 million jackpot on March 2. That prize, which carries a lump-sum option of $118 million, has still not been claimed.
Lottery officials confirm that winners typically have 180 days to claim their prize, leaving plenty of time for the Arkansas winner to step forward. Until then, the unclaimed prize adds another layer of intrigue to recent Powerball activity.
Since its launch in 1992, the Powerball jackpot has been hit nearly 200 times, reflecting both the rarity and excitement surrounding the game.
Powerball Participation and How the Game Works
Powerball remains one of the most widely played lottery games in the United States, currently available in 48 jurisdictions. However, it is not offered in Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah.
Each ticket costs $2, with an optional $1 Power Play feature that can multiply non-jackpot winnings by up to 10 times, depending on the draw.
The game’s structure includes multiple prize tiers, ranging from $4 for matching just the Powerball to life-changing jackpot wins for matching all five white balls plus the Powerball.
Even with multiple prize levels, the odds of winning the jackpot remain extremely slim at approximately 1 in 292.2 million, making each rollover a significant driver of ticket sales and public interest.
Draw Schedule and Ticket Purchase Timing
Powerball drawings take place three times a week — every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Tickets can typically be purchased up until shortly before the draw, though cut-off times vary slightly by state.
Players can watch the draws live or check official results shortly after via platforms such as the Powerball official website, where verified winning numbers are published.
With the jackpot continuing to grow and recent prizes still unclaimed, the latest cycle highlights both the unpredictability and enduring appeal of one of America’s most iconic lottery games.
