The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $212 million for Monday’s drawing. There was no jackpot winner during the Saturday, August 10 drawing.

The winning numbers drawn on Saturday were 9, 24, 33, 64, 69, with a Powerball of 9 and a Power Play of 2x.

While there were no jackpot winners, a lucky player in New York won $1 million by matching all the white ball numbers. If someone had won the $202 million jackpot on Saturday and chosen the lump-sum payment option, they would have taken home approximately $100.5 million after taxes, according to lottery officials. To play Powerball, you can purchase a $2 ticket from your local convenience store, gas station, grocery store, or online in certain states.

You will need to pick six numbers in total: five white balls ranging from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball number between 1 and 26. For an additional $1, you can add a “Power Play” which increases the winnings for all non-jackpot prizes.

Players also have the option to ask a cashier for a “Quick Pick,” where a computer will randomly generate numbers on a printed ticket. Drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. If there’s no jackpot winner, the prize will increase for the next drawing.

Lottery tickets can be purchased at gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and some airport terminals. In addition to these locations, tickets can also be ordered online in the following states and territories: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Texas, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia. The Jackpocket app also allows users to pick their lottery game and numbers, place orders, view tickets, and collect winnings through their phone or computer.

Powerball players should get their tickets ready for the next drawing as the jackpot continues to rise, with the next estimated prize hitting $212 million. Drawings occur at 11 p.m. ET on Monday. Good luck!
