The Powerball winning numbers for Wednesday’s $1 billion drawing are 4, 26, 66, 67 and 69, with 9 as the Powerball. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
The Wednesday, Aug. 12, Powerball drawing featured an estimated $1 billion jackpot, making it the eighth-largest jackpot in Powerball history and the largest U.S. lottery jackpot offered this year, according to lottery officials.
The jackpot had gone months without a grand prize winner. The odds of matching all five white balls and the Powerball are 1 in 292.2 million.
The next drawing will take place Saturday, Aug. 15. Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 pm.
A ticket matching all five white balls without the Powerball wins $1 million. With the 2x Power Play multiplier, that prize increases to $2 million. Other non jackpot prizes can also be multiplied, depending on the randomly selected multiplier.
In Michigan, ticket sales for the Wednesday drawing were available until 9:45 p.m. Players can also add the Double Play feature for $1 per play, giving their numbers another chance to win prizes of up to $10 million.
