The Powerball jackpot has increased to approximately $35 million for the next draw after no tickets matched all six winning numbers in Wednesday's (April 8, 2026) drawing. This is part of a recurring theme across lottery games, where jackpots continue to grow until a player wins.

Why it matters

Powerball remains one of the most popular lottery games in the United States due to its large jackpots and multiple ways to win. As the jackpot grows, more players will likely purchase tickets in hopes of hitting the grand prize.

The details

The numbers drawn in the April 8 Powerball Drawing were: 3, 16, 17, 42 and 52. The Powerball was 03. The multiplier for this game (Power Play) was 2X. While many people purchased tickets, no ticket holder matched all 6 numbers, including the Powerball number, to win the grand prize. Players can still win smaller amounts by matching fewer numbers.

  • The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2026 at 10:59 p.m. ET.
  • Powerball drawings take place three times a week: Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
