Powerball Jackpot Winning Numbers 2-9-26-45-47; Powerball 11: No Grand Prize Winner, Now $203 Drawing Coming Saturday

Powerball jackpot winning numbers were 2-9-26-45-47; Powerball 11. The Gold Mega Ball was 28 and the Megaplier Multiplier was 3 and now the total jackpot has skyrocketed to $203 million.

The Powerball jackpot next winning numbers will be drawn on Saturday night at 10:59 p.m. ET.

Tickets sold in nine states matched five numbers, but not the Powerball and are worth $1 million before taxes, according to NJ.com. None of the tickets had the Powerball 11, which could have earned them the entire jackpot winnings of $169 million after Wednesday night's drawing.

The cash option would pay at least $115.5 million for the $203 million after taxes. Drawings are cut off at least 59 minutes prior to the official drawings on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Want to know how to play? Powerball.com explains the rules:

"Players win by matching one of the 9 Ways to Win. The jackpot (won by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball) is either an annuitized prize paid out over 29 years (30 payments) or a lump sum payment. Each ticket costs $2. If the winner chooses the annuity, the annual payment will be increased each year by the percentage set out in the Powerball game rules. The second prize (won by matching five white balls in any order) is $1,000,000 paid in cash and any time you match the red Powerball, you win. The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are approximately 1 in 32."

This means the nine winners won $1,000,000 each because of matching the five first numbers.
