Saturday's Powerball Drawing at $317M

Jackpot has increased $72 million since Wednesday.

The New York Lottery has announced that Saturday’s Powerball drawing has been increased to $317 million.

The $72 million jump from Wednesday’s jackpot is due to brisk sales across all participating Powerball states.

If no one matches all five numbers plus the Powerball in Saturday night’s drawing, the jackpot will continue to grow.
