No Jackpot Winner as $123 Million Prize Rolls Over

The Powerball lottery drawing on Saturday, March 21, 2026, produced no grand prize winner, allowing the jackpot to roll over once again as players across the United States chased an estimated $123 million prize with a cash value of $55.8 million.

The official winning numbers, drawn at 10:59 p.m. ET from the Florida Lottery studios in Tallahassee, were **12-28-36-41-59**, with the red Powerball **2**. The Power Play multiplier was **2x**, boosting non-jackpot prizes for players who opted in.

According to the Multi-State Lottery Association and official Powerball results posted on powerball.com, no ticket matched all five white balls plus the Powerball to claim the top prize. The jackpot had climbed from an estimated $120 million ahead of the draw after no winner in the previous Wednesday, March 18, drawing (numbers 14-18-19-21-69, Powerball 1, Power Play 3x).

Lower-tier prizes saw solid action. While no tickets matched five white balls plus the Power Play for the $2 million second prize, reports indicate zero $1 million Match 5 winners nationwide in the main draw. Prize breakdowns from usamega.com and powerball.com detail:

– Match 5 + Powerball: 0 winners ($123,100,000 jackpot rollover)
– Match 5: 0 winners ($1,000,000 each)
– Match 4 + Powerball: Limited winners at $50,000 (with Power Play boosting to $100,000 in some cases)
– Match 4: Hundreds of tickets at $100 base
– Lower matches distributed thousands in $4 to $50 prizes, with Power Play doubling many.

The Double Play add-on drawing — available in select jurisdictions — featured numbers **9-29-34-48-58** with Powerball **4**, offering additional chances for prizes up to $10 million, though no top-tier Double Play jackpot was reported.

The March 21 drawing followed a pattern of rollovers that has kept the jackpot building steadily in early 2026. No jackpot winner had emerged in several consecutive draws, fueling excitement and ticket sales nationwide. The absence of a winner means the next drawing — Wednesday, March 25 — will feature an even larger estimated jackpot, likely pushing past $150 million depending on final sales figures.

Powerball operates in 45 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with drawings held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets cost $2 per play, with the optional Power Play for an extra $1 multiplying non-jackpot wins up to 10x (though capped at 2x or 3x when the jackpot is below certain thresholds). Double Play, where available, adds another $1 for a second chance at prizes.

Players are reminded to check tickets carefully, as smaller prizes often go unclaimed. Winners of prizes up to $600 typically redeem at retailers, while larger amounts require claims through state lottery offices. Jackpot winners can choose annuity payments over 30 years or a lump-sum cash option, which for this draw would have been approximately $55.8 million before taxes.

The lottery has long captured public imagination, with massive jackpots sparking “Powerball fever” and stories of life-changing wins. Past record holders include the $2.04 billion prize won in California in November 2022 and others exceeding $1 billion. No such mega-winner emerged Saturday, but the rollover ensures continued buzz.

As always, officials urge responsible play: buy only from authorized retailers, keep tickets safe and sign the back immediately upon purchase. Odds of winning the jackpot remain 1 in 292.2 million, though overall odds of any prize are about 1 in 24.9.

For those who purchased tickets, results are available on powerball.com, state lottery sites, apps and trusted news outlets. The next chance to win arrives Wednesday — with the jackpot poised to grow further if no one claims it.
