Overview

  • The Saturday, Dec. 6 numbers were 13, 14, 26, 28, 44 and Powerball 7, and no ticket matched all six to win the grand prize.
  • The next drawing is Monday, Dec. 8 at 10:59 p.m. ET.
  • Four tickets won $1 million on Saturday in Florida, Georgia, Texas and New Jersey, with the New Jersey ticket doubled to $2 million via Power Play.
  • The pot ranks as the seventh-largest Powerball jackpot and the second-biggest this year after September’s $1.787 billion win.
  • Winners choose annuity or cash, and reported estimates note federal withholding and top marginal rates could significantly reduce a lump-sum payout.
