**Powerball Jackpot Soars to $207 Million Ahead of Saturday’s Drawing**

The Powerball jackpot is escalating, offering a life-changing $207 million to any lucky player who matches all the winning numbers in Saturday’s, May 31, drawing. The massive prize follows Wednesday’s drawing, in which no one hit the jackpot. A potential winner on Saturday could also choose to receive a one-time cash payment of $91 million.

2025 has already seen three Powerball jackpot winners. A player from Kentucky claimed $167.3 million on April 26, while prior to that, a lucky individual in Oregon won $328.5 million on Jan. 18. On March 29, a lucky player won $527 million.

For those hoping to try their luck, tickets cost $2 and can be purchased at gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and even some airport terminals. Several states, including Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C., and West Virginia, offer online ticket purchases through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network.

To play, participants select five white ball numbers (ranging from 1 to 69) and one red Powerball number (ranging from 1 to 26). A “Quick Pick” option allows for randomly generated numbers. For an additional $1, players can add a “Power Play” to multiply non-jackpot winnings.
