Numbers drawn Saturday night for a prize worth $521 million were 30-36-49-52-63 and the Powerball was 16. The Power Play was 5X.

Jackpot rises to $532 million

Update 12:17 a.m. March 10: The jackpot rolled over to $532 million after no one picked all five white balls and the red Powerball.

The Powerball jackpot was last won on Jan. 1 by a single ticket in Michigan that matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to win an $842.2 million grand prize. Since then, there have been 30 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner.

The next drawing is on Monday. If someone wins the big prize that night, they will have two options: An annuity, in which the winner receives one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year, or the lump sum option. Choosing the second option will make the cash value amount approximately $260.1 million before taxes, lottery officials said.

There were some second-tier winners.

One ticket in Ohio matched all five white numbers and had the Power Play option, which resulted in a $2 million payday. Single tickets in Florida and New York matched all five white numbers and were worth $1 million.
