Anticipation builds as the Powerball jackpot soars to a staggering $203 million. This hefty sum awaits the lucky individual or syndicate in the following Saturday draw, after the previous Wednesday drawing did not yield a winner for the grand prize. The scheduled time for this high-stakes event is 11 p.m. ET and we will provide the numbers as soon as they are drawn.
Should a winner emerge in Saturday’s drawing and opt for the lump-sum payment, the recipient would walk away with approximately $94.6 million, according to lottery officials.
Eager participants and spectators alike should note the winning numbers for the Saturday, May 4 drawing, which are as follows:
– 12
– 20
– 23
– 53
– 69
Coupled with the Powerball number 4 and a Powerplay multiplier of 2X, these are the digits that could potentially transform an individual’s life overnight.

When it comes to participating in this grand lottery, purchasing a $2 Powerball ticket is the first step. Tickets can be found at local vendors such as convenience stores, gas stations, and even grocery stores. A select few states also allow the convenience of purchasing tickets online.
Laying your stake in the game requires selecting six numbers; five white ball numbers ranging from 1 to 69, and one red Powerball number from 1 to 26. For those dreaming of multiplied glory, an additional $1 “Power Play” can be added to your ticket, drastically increasing non-jackpot prize winnings by 2, 3, 4, 5, or even 10 times.
Players may also opt for the simplicity of a “Quick Pick,” where numbers are randomly generated by a computer and printed directly onto your Powerball ticket by a cashier.
Drawings occur thrice weekly on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. With each drawing that passes without a jackpot winner, the prize escalates by millions, increasing the stakes and the excitement.
