No ticket matched all six numbers in the April 1 Powerball drawing, pushing the jackpot to an estimated $217 million for Saturday's contest. This rollover heightens anticipation among players in 45 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. The prize underscores the lottery's enduring draw, even with odds standing at 1 in 292.2 million.
April 1 Numbers and Next Drawing Details
The winning combination on Wednesday drew white balls 04, 10, 11, 52, and 64, with Powerball 24 and a 3X Power Play multiplier. The next drawing occurs April 4 at approximately 10:59 p.m. ET, following the standard Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday schedule. Ticket sales cutoffs vary by state, such as 9:59 p.m. in New Jersey and 10 p.m. in New York.
Prize Structure and Collection Choices
Winners face two payout paths: a 30-year annuity starting at $217 million with 5 percent annual increases, or a lump-sum cash option of about $97.4 million before taxes. Non-jackpot prizes range widely based on matches, from $4 for the Powerball alone to $1 million for five white balls.
