Winning Powerball Numbers for Saturday, August 19, 2017: $535 Million Jackpot (Updated)

No one matched the winning numbers on Wednesday, rolling the jackpot over that is reminiscent of last summer's ginormous $1B buildup.

UPDATED: The winning numbers for Saturday, Aug. 19, are: 17, 19, 39, 43, 68 and the Powerball of 13. Since nobody drew the winning numbers at the last drawing on Wednesday, the jackpot has grown to $535 million β€” the first time in more than a year that it's climbed past the half-billion-dollar mark. The cash payout will be an estimated $338.8 million.

From earlier:

AUSTIN, TX β€” The Powerball jackpot has swelled to $510 million after no one drew the winning numbers in Wednesday's drawing.
The jackpot's been growing since June 10, representing the 19th time it's rolled over to a new drawing. The next drawing is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 19. It might be noted that Wednesday's jackpot was the ninth-largest in Powerball history.
In case you missed it, the winning numbers that no one drew on Wednesday, Aug. 16, were 9-15-43-60-64 with a Powerball of 4. Even if you didn't match all the numbers, you might want to check your ticket as there are prizes associated with matching just a few of the digits to the drawn numbers.
