How Progressive Jackpots Grow Until a Ticket Matches All Six Numbers Including the Bonus Number

No one matched all six numbers in Saturday’s Powerball drawing, leaving the jackpot to grow for the next drawing.

The Powerball jackpot was an estimated $120 million before the drawing on Saturday, April 25, 2026, according to lottery officials. Since no ticket matched all five white balls and the red Powerball, the prize will continue to increase based on ticket sales ahead of the next scheduled drawing.

Powerball jackpots grow when there is no top-prize winner, following the standard mechanics of the game. A portion of each ticket sale contributes to the prize pool, allowing the jackpot to increase incrementally until a player matches all required numbers.

The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Monday, April 27, 2026, with the jackpot expected to be higher than the $120 million offered on Saturday. Officials will announce the exact amount closer to the drawing date based on final sales figures.

Players participate by selecting five numbers from a pool of 69 white balls and one number from 26 red Powerballs. To win the jackpot, a ticket must match all six numbers drawn. Smaller prizes are available for matching fewer combinations.
