Winning Powerball numbers drawn for $1.8 billion jackpot

The numbers for the $1.80 billion Powerball have been drawn with millions of players around the country hoping today is their lucky day.

The numbers are 11, 23, 44, 61, 62 with Powerball 17.

Lottery officials are still tabulating the results of Saturday night’s drawing — as the Powerball website went down at the moment of the drawing.

If one fortunate ticketholder beats the 1-in-292-million odds, they will lay claim to the second largest jackpot in Powerball history. The largest Powerball payout ever was $2.04 billion in 2022.

A winner would choose either a lump sum payment of $826.4 million dollars — before taxes — or annuity payments of over $5 million annually for 29 years.
