The next Powerball drawing on Monday, Aug. 14 will feature a jackpot of $215 million.

Last Saturday’s numbers drawing saw white balls 19, 21, 37, 50, and 65 get selected, along with 26 in the red Powerball slot. There were no jackpot winners.

Powerball drawings occur every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at approximately 10:59 p.m. ET. Know that the cut-off to purchase your ticket(s) is exactly 9:59 p.m. ET on the night of drawings.

To play the Powerball, simply select five numbers from 1 to 69 as well as an additional number from 1 to 26, which will serve as your red Powerball pick. Or, you always have the option to let the terminal randomly pick your numbers for you.

Standard Powerball tickets will cost you $2 a piece, with the possibility to play the Power Play add-on for another $1 per ticket. Here’s how the Power Play works:

The Power Play add-on grants you the opportunity to increase any non-jackpot winnings. A separate number will be drawn just prior to the standard Powerball drawing—this is the Power Play number. Any non-jackpot prize can be multiplied by the following:

There are two ways to view Powerball results after the numbers drawings take place. First, watch on your local Pennsylvania TV news station. See below:
