The winning numbers drawn on Wednesday night were 9-12-22-41-61 and red Powerball 25. The Power Play was 4X.

The next drawing is set for Saturday, Aug. 30 and estimated at $950 million.

Drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Tickets to play cost $2 each.

The game’s odds remain 1 in 292.2 million regardless of how big the jackpot is and the number of people buying tickets. Those odds mean there are 292.2 million possible number combinations.
