Winning Powerball Numbers For August 16: $430 Million Jackpot (Updated)

UPDATE: The winning Powerball numbers for Wednesday, Aug. 16, are: 09-15-43-60-64, Powerball: 04.

From earlier:

AUSTIN, TX — Nobody matched the winning numbers for the Powerball jackpot on Saturday, meaning the prize has grown to $430 million from last week's paltry $356 million that nobody won last week. If you win after the Wednesday, Aug. 16, drawing and choose the cash option, you'll be $273.4 million richer.

In case you missed it on Saturday, the winning numbers were: 20, 24, 26, 35, 49 and 19. But nobody matched the digits, so it's like it never happened. Or it's like when Superman reversed the rotation of the Earth to turn back time and save Lois Lane.

So check back to see the winning numbers after 10 p.m. on Wednesday, as this story will be updated with the winning digits. If you manage to overcome the astronomical odds and actually win, the cash payout option will mean that you'll be $273.4 million after Wednesday.

To play, choose five numbers from the first field of 69 numbers and one Powerball number from the second field of 26 numbers or simply ask your lottery retailer for a "Quick Pick." For $1 more per play, you can play Power Play® for a chance to increase non-grand prize winnings. Players also can win $2 million for the second tier prize with Power Play!

Drawings are broadcast each Wednesday and Saturday at 10:12 p.m. CT. Ticket sales are not available during Draw Break, from 9:00 - 10:15 p.m. For more information about Powerball, visit www.powerball.com.

And don't forget to revisit this story Wednesday night when it is updated with the winning numbers. Despite your astronomical chance of winning the ginormous prize, we still wish you the best of luck.
