ALBUQUERQUE – The estimated Powerball® jackpot for the Saturday, March 30, 2024 draw is $935 million.
This is the 5th largest Powerball jackpot in U.S. lottery history and the first time in 2024 that the Powerball jackpot has risen above $900 million.
The New Mexico Lottery reminds players to please, play responsibly.
New Mexico Lottery CEO, David Barden said, “Thank you, New Mexico Lottery players, for helping to fund college education for New Mexico students. Jackpots of this size are exciting and generate conversation and ideas about possibilities, much like our students thinking about their future with a college education. But please remember that playing the Lottery is a game of chance. Only play what you can afford. It only takes one ticket for a chance to win.”
If the jackpot is hit in New Mexico, it will be the sixth time the Powerball jackpot has been won in New Mexico. It would also be the largest jackpot won in New Mexico.
New Mexico Lottery players have until 8:00 p.m. MT on Saturday to buy tickets for the March 30th Powerball draw.
Powerball tickets are $2 per play. Tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. More than half of all proceeds from the sale of a Powerball ticket remain in the jurisdiction where the ticket was sold. Drawings are broadcast live from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. Powerball drawings are also live streamed online at Powerball.com.
The New Mexico Lottery also offers an add-on option called Powerball Double Play®. For an additional $1 per play, players have a chance to match their Powerball numbers in a second drawing for a chance to win up to $10 million. This drawing occurs after the regular Powerball draw on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
