Winning Powerball Jackpot Numbers For Saturday, Oct. 21, 2017, $173M Prize

UPDATE: The winning Powerball jackpot numbers for Oct. 21, 2017, are: 14-41-42-45-69 and red ball 4.

From earlier:

AUSTIN, TX — Here we grow again. Nobody drew the winning Powerball numbers on Wednesday, raising the prize for Saturday's drawing to a whopping $173 million or a cash option of $109 million.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: That's nothing to sneeze at.

The numbers drawn on Wednesday, Oct. 18, were: 30-49-54-66-69 and the elusive red ball 8. Because no one drew the right numbers, the jackpot rolls over until Saturday, Oct. 21, 2017 for a prize bigger than the $155 million one that would've been doled out on Wednesday had someone hit the numbers.

By the way, someone in Nacogdoches, Texas, matched five out of five numbers on Wednesday, good for $1 million. The winning ticket was sold at the Polk 11 store located at 9855 U.S. Highway 259. Nacogdoches is town of about 33,000 people in East Texas, the sister city of smaller and similarly named Natchitoches, La.

Anyway, watch Saturday's drawing on the official webcast, on the local newscast in the form of a graphic usually broadcast around 10:15 p.m. Or, better yet, just revisit this story when we will have updated it with the winning numbers.
