Powerball Jackpot Hits $46 Million for Monday, March 9 Drawing The Powerball jackpot has climbed to $46 million for the March 9 drawing, with a cash value of $21.7 million. This marks the latest opportunity for players to claim the prize, which has been won nearly 200 times since the lottery’s launch in 1992. Currently, 48 U.S. states participate in the Powerball game, excluding Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah. The states with the highest number of winners include Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The March 9 drawing follows a $251 million jackpot win in Arkansas on March 2, where the winner had the option to receive annuitized payments or a lump sum of $118 million. As of now, no one has claimed the current jackpot. The winning numbers for the March 9 drawing were 22, 23, 28, 36, 54, with the Powerball number 13. The Power Play multiplier was set at 3x. Despite the high stakes, no one secured the jackpot, the Match 5 + Power Play $2 million prize, or the Match 5 $1 million prize. The jackpot has since increased to $58 million, with a cash value of $26.8 million, pending the Wednesday, March 11 drawing. Players can participate in Powerball without being U.S. citizens or residents. Anyone visiting one of the 45 participating states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands can purchase tickets from licensed retailers, provided they meet the legal age requirement, typically 18 years old. The Powerball jackpot has reached record highs in the past, with the top 10 jackpots including a $758.7 million win in Massachusetts in 2017, a $1.817 billion prize in Arkansas in 2025, and a $2.040 billion payout in California in 2022.
