Powerball numbers in Saturday’s (February 12) drawing were 8, 10, 21, 41, 62, and the Powerball was 7. The Power Play was 3X.
No one won the $172 million jackpot, according to the Powerball website, meaning the top prize will continue to climb. It stands at an estimated $183 million jackpot for the next drawing on Monday, with a cash value of $122.4 million.
Although Saturday’s jackpot was not won, there were several players who won big cash prizes.
A player from California correctly matched all five white balls to win $1 million. Another two players, from Illinois and Texas, correctly matched all five white balls plus a Power Play purchase to win $2 million.
Fourteen players correctly matched four white balls and the Powerball to win $50,000 each. Another five players who also correctly guessed four white balls and the Powerball tripled their winnings to $150,000 each, thanks to the Power Play.

Another 336 players matched four white balls to win $100, with 97 more winning $300 each thanks to the Power Play.
A further 1,047 players correctly guessed three white balls and the Powerball, winning $100 each, while 323 also had a Power Play purchase, meaning they won $300 each.
The Powerball jackpot has not been won since early January when two players split the $630 million prize, the seventh largest jackpot in Powerball history.
A player in Green Bay, Wisconsin, bought one of the winning tickets for the January 5 drawing, while the other ticket was sold at the 7-Eleven at 6591 Wyndham Drive in Sacramento, California.
Before that, the Powerball jackpot was hit in October last year when a player from California scooped a prize worth almost $700 million.
How To Play Powerball
Powerball tickets are $2 per play, with players selecting five numbers from 1 to 69, in addition to one red Powerball number from 1 to 26. In certain circumstances, players can also multiply non-jackpot prizes by using the Power Play option for an additional $1.
Tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Powerball drawings are broadcast live every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET from the lottery studio located in Tallahassee, Florida.
Jackpot winners may choose to receive their prize as an annuity, paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or a lump sum payment. Both advertised prize options are prior to federal and jurisdictional taxes.
The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9, according to the Powerball websites. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. “Even if there are more tickets sold in a particular drawing, your odds of winning a prize are the same,” the website states.
