The winning numbers for the Powerball drawing on Saturday, March 8, are: No one won the Powerball jackpot or the Match 5 + Power Play $2 million prize, but one lucky person in Texas won the Match 5 $1 million prize. The next drawing will happen on Monday, March 10, just after 11 p.m. ET.

The investigation into two controversial lottery jackpots in Texas had drummed up questions about the role of online ticketing firms known as lottery couriers in the state – and nationwide.

In the past month, lawmakers have taken action to reign in the lottery, including advancing a bill that prohibits the use of couriers. The Texas Rangers and attorney general’s office also are investigating a $95 million jackpot in 2023 and a $83.5 million win last month.

The Powerball drawing held on Saturday night proved to be quite the windfall for one Lottery player in the great state of Texas to the tune of $1 million.

Attorney General Ken Paxton’s investigation came after Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Texas Rangers to look into the two lottery jackpots.
