Powerball March 2017: When And Where To Watch Wednesday's Drawing For $155M?

The winning numbers for the Powerball drawing scheduled for Wednesday worth the estimated jackpot of $155 million will be drawn at 10:59 p.m. EDT. The website features a full list of TV stations and channels on which the results are announced, besides a YouTube page where all past Powerball drawings can be seen.

As there were no winners in Saturday’s drawing, the prize money for the next drawing, scheduled for Wednesday, March 22, 2017, increased in value, according to the official Powerball website.

To play the Powerball lottery game, individuals can buy Powerball tickets in any of the 44 U.S. states along with the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. If the numbers on your ticket match all five on the white balls and the red Powerball number drawn by the host of the lottery, you win the Powerball jackpot.

The winning numbers from Saturday’s drawing were 13, 25, 44, 54, 67 and the Powerball number was 05. The lots are drawn every Wednesday and Saturday.

Upon finding the winning numbers and after getting them validated by a Powerball retailer or through the lottery headquarters, the winner can either avail the full amount in 30 installments over 29 years, or take a lump sum amount that will be smaller than the total sum after federal taxes. For Wednesday’s drawing, the lump sum cash payout is estimated at $92.4 million.

The biggest Powerball jackpot was a record-setting $1.6 billion in January 2016. Last month, a Purdue University graduate in Indiana won the 10th largest jackpot worth $435 million.

However, winning a Powerball jackpot is an event so statistically rare — 1 in 292,201,338 — that it's almost impossible to visualize the odds of winning. But several people have tried.
