No Jackpot Winner, Prize to Climb to $231 Million

The Powerball jackpot rolled over again Saturday night after no ticket matched all six numbers in the April 4, 2026 drawing, leaving the estimated grand prize to climb toward $231 million for Monday’s drawing.

The winning numbers drawn at 10:59 p.m. Eastern time were white balls 3, 6, 13, 41 and 65, with Powerball 1. The Power Play multiplier was 4x. A separate Double Play drawing produced white balls 20, 38, 45, 58 and 63 with Double Play ball 5.

The advertised jackpot for Saturday stood at an estimated $217 million annuity value, or about $98.2 million cash option. With no grand prize winner, the next drawing on Monday, April 6, will carry an estimated $231 million annuity prize.

Saturday’s drawing continued a rollover streak that has built excitement among players nationwide. The last jackpot winner claimed the prize in early August 2025, allowing the prize pool to grow through multiple drawings without a top-tier match.

Official results released by the Multi-State Lottery Association confirmed the numbers shortly after the drawing. Players are advised to check tickets carefully, as lower-tier prizes remain available in every drawing.

For the main Powerball game, matching all five white balls and the Powerball wins the jackpot. Saturday’s combination produced no such winner. The odds of hitting the jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million.

Several players matched portions of the winning combination, qualifying for substantial secondary prizes. Official prize breakdowns and state-by-state winner counts were expected to be released in the coming days on the Powerball website and through participating lotteries.

The 4x Power Play multiplier boosted non-jackpot prizes for ticket holders who paid the optional extra dollar. For example, the Match 5 prize (five white balls without the Powerball) carried a base value of $1 million and would increase to $2 million with the 4x multiplier in qualifying states. Other prize levels saw similar boosts.

Powerball is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings occur Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. Tickets cost $2, or $3 with the Power Play option.

The April 4 drawing fell on the Saturday before Easter, a traditionally busy sales period for lotteries as families and holiday travelers purchase tickets. Retailers across the country reported steady demand leading into the weekend.

Powerball officials reminded players that unclaimed prizes have expiration dates that vary by jurisdiction, typically ranging from 90 days to one year. Winners should sign the back of their tickets immediately and consult tax professionals, as federal and state taxes apply to significant winnings.

Saturday’s results come after Wednesday’s April 1 drawing, which produced white balls 4-10-11-52-64 and Powerball 24 with a 3x Power Play. That drawing also rolled over after no jackpot winner.

The game’s popularity stems from its massive potential payouts and relatively straightforward play. Players select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. The Power Play option multiplies most non-jackpot prizes.

Lottery experts note that while the odds remain daunting, the dream of sudden wealth continues to drive ticket sales. When jackpots reach nine figures, sales often surge, creating a cycle that can push prizes even higher until someone finally matches all six numbers.

For those who matched fewer numbers Saturday, smaller prizes offered consolation. Matching just the Powerball wins $4, doubled or multiplied with Power Play. Higher matches yield progressively larger fixed or pari-mutuel prizes.

The Multi-State Lottery Association, which administers Powerball, emphasizes responsible play. Officials encourage players to set budgets and treat lottery tickets as entertainment rather than investment.

As the jackpot grows again, anticipation will build for Monday’s drawing. Players can purchase tickets at authorized retailers or through official state lottery apps and websites in participating jurisdictions until sales close before each drawing.

Saturday’s winning combination — 3, 6, 13, 41, 65 and Powerball 1 — featured relatively low numbers mixed with higher ones, a common pattern that still eluded jackpot hopefuls.

In the Double Play option, available in select states, the numbers 20-38-45-58-63 with Double Play ball 5 provided another chance at prizes using the same ticket.

Powerball has awarded some of the largest lottery prizes in U.S. history, including record jackpots exceeding $2 billion in past years. While Saturday’s prize fell short of those historic levels, it still represented life-changing money for any potential winner.

As of early April 2026, the game continues its three-draws-per-week schedule introduced in 2021, giving players more frequent opportunities to participate.

Lottery officials urge anyone who believes they hold a winning ticket to secure it safely and contact their state lottery for claim instructions. Large prizes often require in-person validation at lottery headquarters.

For most players, Saturday’s drawing ended without a jackpot win, shifting focus to the next opportunity on Monday night. The growing prize pool ensures continued national attention as the rollover streak extends.

Whether players analyze hot and cold numbers, use quick picks or rely on lucky dates and birthdays, the fundamental appeal remains the same: a small investment for a shot at transforming ordinary lives into extraordinary ones.

With no winner on April 4, eyes now turn to Monday’s estimated $231 million jackpot. As always, players are reminded that every ticket purchased supports education, infrastructure and other public programs in participating states through lottery proceeds.

The official Powerball website and state lottery platforms will post full prize details and winner information in the days ahead. In the meantime, millions of tickets from Saturday’s drawing will be checked and double-checked in hopes that someone, somewhere, finally beat the long odds.
