Powerball Jackpot Numbers For Saturday, Nov. 11: $90M Prize

AUSTIN, TX — Check your tickets if you bought a Powerball ticket on Saturday. The jackpot has climbed to $90 million or a cash payout of $56.8 million.

The winning Powerball numbers for Saturday, Nov. 11, are: 04, 06, 16, 30, 56 and the Powerball of 18.

It's a simple enough formula: The Powerball game is played by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball number. But the hard part is winning: Odds of picking the correct Powerball grand prize numbers are one in 292,201,338.

Speaking of which, we received late word that nobody matched all the winning numbers for Saturday's drawing. This means the next drawing on Wednesday, Nov. 15, will be for $103 million with an estimated cash option value of $65.3 million. As you might know, the cash value option is when people opt to take a lump sum rather than annual annuities for the full amount.

Given the tactics of immediate gratification, most people who win lottery prizes tend to take the lowered — yet often sizable— lump sum. What would you do? Lump sum or annual annuities? Just curious.

Despite the astronomical odds of winning, people do. The record in the game was a $1.6 billion drawing in January 2016, which was shared by three winners in Florida, Tennessee and California; that was followed by the Aug. 23, 2017, win of $758 million. And on Feb. 22, a lucky player in Indiana won the $435 million Powerball jackpot, the 10th largest in the game's history.

Good luck, and good night.
