WA Powerball Numbers: Jackpot Hits $403 Million

SEATTLE, WA - The Powerball jackpot for Wednesday is up to $403 million thanks to a lack of winners during Saturday's drawing.

Since Saturday, the jackpot grew $54 million due to higher sales across the 44 states that participate in the lottery game. Wednesday's drawing will happen at 7:59 p.m. Pacific time. Powerball tickets cost $2. We will post the winning numbers as soon as they are announced.

Even if you don't win the full nine-figure jackpot, there are other ways to win. Winners in Rhode Island, Texas, and Pennsylvania won $2 million prizes after Saturday's drawing.
