WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The Powerball results tonight come as the jackpot reaches an estimated $562 million for Wednesday’s drawing, with a $230.4 million cash option before taxes. No ticket matched all six numbers Monday, pushing the prize higher and setting up another drawing for players.
The next drawing is scheduled for 10:59 p.m. ET. A ticket costs $2 per play, CBS12 News reported.
The winning numbers listed by CBS12 are 22, 28, 38, 51 and 69, with a Powerball of 9 and a 3X Power Play multiplier. The report identifies those as the winning numbers, while also describing the $562 million prize as the estimate for Wednesday night’s upcoming drawing.
That distinction matters for anyone checking a ticket: the jackpot estimate is for the next draw, while the listed numbers are associated with the completed drawing in the report. CBS12 says Monday’s draw had no ticket matching all six numbers, the result that sent the jackpot higher.
Powerball results tonight and the next draw
The jackpot’s advertised estimate and cash option are different payout figures. The $562 million figure is the estimated jackpot, while the cash option is $230.4 million before taxes, according to CBS12. The source does not provide an after-tax amount.
For players, the immediate question is whether a ticket matches the numbers from the relevant drawing. CBS12 lists five main numbers and a separate Powerball number, alongside the 3X Power Play multiplier. Those details should be checked against the ticket and the draw it was entered for.
Small detail, big difference.
The report says drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets cost $2 per play, and CBS12 directs viewers to its 11 p.m. broadcast for results. The source does not state a specific calendar date for Wednesday’s drawing, so the schedule remains tied to the weekday described in the report.
Powerball prizes can draw attention well beyond the winning numbers because the advertised jackpot may be taken as a cash option before taxes. Here, the gap between the estimated jackpot and the cash option is substantial, but CBS12 gives no further breakdown of payment terms or tax calculations.
The source also places the drawing in the Florida Lottery context, identifying CBS12 News as its Florida Lottery station. For people following the draw, the practical details are the entry price, scheduled time and numbers reported for the completed draw; the larger jackpot estimate applies to the next one.
CBS12 reports that the next drawing is set for 10:59 p.m. ET, with a $562 million estimated jackpot and a $230.4 million cash option before taxes.
