Overview

• The Aug. 27 winning numbers were 9-12-22-41-61 with Powerball 25 and a 4X Power Play, and no ticket matched all six.
• Saturday’s drawing (Aug. 30) offers a $950 million annuity with a $428.9 million cash option before taxes.
• Six seven-figure prizes hit on Wednesday: $2 million winners in Mississippi, Ohio and Virginia, and $1 million winners in Arizona, New York and Virginia.
• A lump-sum choice faces a 24% federal withholding up front, with additional federal and state taxes potentially cutting take-home far below the advertised jackpot.
• The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million; Powerball is available in 45 states plus D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with drawings on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights.
