The jackpot for Saturday night's drawing is now an estimated $538 million, making it one of the largest in US history.

The next drawing is at 10:59 p.m. ET on Saturday. For an extra $1 per play, you can choose Power Play to increase your non-jackpot winnings which will be multiplied by the drawing's Power Play number. Since its first year, the Georgia Lottery Corp. has returned more than $18.7 billion to the state. Players can also take the cash option, which would be $324.2 million with the current jackpot before state and federal taxes are applied.

The next drawing will be Saturday night, and will be broadcast during Eyewitness News at 11 on WPRI 12.

Lotto players now have 535 million reasons to play Powerball. Players may select their own numbers using a Powerball playslip, or they may opt for computer-selected quick picks.

The winning numbers for the Powerball drawing are drawn from a field of one through 69. "We want to remind the public that you can't win if you don't play". It is $1 million without Power Play.
