Powerball Jackpot Breaks $300M Mark

Nobody won Saturday’s Powerball jackpot, meaning Wednesday’s jackpot is now officially in the land of ridiculous — some $302 million. The cash payout is $187.3 million. By comparison, former Ford CEO Mark Fields’ golden parachute of about $50 million is chump change.

The jackpot has been growing since someone took home $60 million months ago. Powerball drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern time. The record in the game was a $1.6 billion drawing in January 2016.

The winning Powerball numbers for Saturday, May 27 are 5, 10, 28, 55, 67 and a Powerball of 9.

Each Powerball ticket costs $2. Find out where you can buy your Powerball tickets here. The Powerball game is played by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball number. The odds of picking the correct Powerball grand prize numbers are one in 292,201,338.
