Powerball Numbers for 5/7/2016; Huge Jackpot Tonight

The potential jackpot is already one of the highest in history.

If you didn't pick up any numbers at the club Friday night, don't worry. The only numbers you need are Saturday afternoon at the convenience store.

The ever-growing Powerball jackpot has ballooned to $415 million, and if you haven't bought tickets yet, you're in luck - the drawing is tonight at 10:59.

Wednesday's Powerball drawing saw $15 million won, but no one won the jackpot, which was close to $350 million. Now the jackpot is as high as its been since the world-record $1.5 billion (yes, with a 'b') game in January.
