Winning Powerball Jackpot Numbers March 7, 2018: $348M Prize

Cash value option for drawing on Wednesday, March 7, 2018, will be an estimated $207.4 million — nothing to sneeze at.

AUSTIN, TX — It's gettin' real, y'all. The Powerball jackpot prize has grown to a whopping $348 million for Wednesday because nobody has matched all the numbers for quite some time now. Even if one were to succumb to instant gratification and choose the cash payout option (rather than the annuities over time), you'd still get more than $207 million. That's also quite a bit of money, enough to wipe out your debts and live in rather grand style.

Sorry, we're going off a tangent. The winning Powerball numbers for Wednesday, March 7, are: 06, 13, 19, 36, 51 and the Powerball of 18.

The numbers are why you're here, so forgive the windup. Check that ticket!
