No jackpot in Maine, but Wednesday’s numbers unlock instant prize tiers and set up Saturday’s $164 million Powerball reset.
Powerball: $154 Million Jackpot Rolls to $164 Million
The 11-26-27-53-55 + Powerball 12 combination missed every top-tier ticket nationwide, so the annuity climbs $10 million for the next draw. The 2× Power Play doubled secondary prizes; Maine sold two $100,000 Match-4+PB tickets and 15 $50,000 Match-4 tickets, according to the Maine Lottery.
Double Play numbers 16-20-28-36-52 + 12 produced no $10 million winner either, but five Maine entries cashed $500 each for matching four white balls.
Pick 3 & Pick 4: Mid-Day to Night Straight-Pay Sweeps
Day draw 3-7-2 paid $500 for every $1 straight bet; the evening 2-1-4 did the same. Pick 4 day number 5-6-8-4 triggered $5,000 straight payouts, while 7-4-7-2 at night delivered identical top-tier odds. Combined, Maine retailers paid out $423,800 on the two games in a single 24-hour cycle.
Megabucks Plus: Jackpot Stuck at $1.6 Million
Sequence 12-13-39-40-41 + Megaball 06 went unmatched, pushing Saturday’s top prize to an estimated $1.65 million. Four Maine tickets matched four white balls for $600 each.
Lucky For Life: $1,000-a-Day for Life Still Unclaimed
No one hit 03-10-22-32-38 + Lucky Ball 11, so the lifetime annuity remains on the table. Seven Maine players landed second-tier $25,000-a-year-for-life prizes by matching the first five numbers without the Lucky Ball.
Gimme 5: Top Prize Resets to $100,000
Drawing 03-09-13-14-20 produced no perfect ticket; the jackpot reverts to base and tomorrow’s pot starts at $100,000. Retailers cashed 42 $300 fourth-tier prizes inside Maine borders.
Lotto America: Star Ball Keeps $2.3 Million Alive
Numbers 11-30-39-48-51 + Star Ball 04 and All Star Bonus 02 missed every grand-prize line, lifting Monday’s annuity to $2.35 million. One Maine entry matched five white balls with the 2× bonus for a $40,000 score.
Instant Ticket Momentum
Scratch-off sales in Maine topped $3.1 million the same day, with four new $20 games rolling out Friday. High-frequency players shifted toward the $50 “Maximum Fortune” ticket after three $1 million prizes were claimed in the final week of 2025, tightening remaining top-tier odds to 1 in 1.2 million.
