**[City, State] –** The Powerball jackpot has reached an astounding estimated $1.7 billion, with a cash value of $770.3 million, after no ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday night’s drawing. The numbers drawn on September 3rd were 3, 16, 29, 61, and 69, with a Powerball of 22 and a Power Play of 2x.

While the grand prize went unclaimed, the drawing did produce several big winners. Four tickets, sold in Michigan, Oregon, Texas, and Wyoming, matched five numbers plus the Power Play, each winning $2 million. Eleven more tickets sold in California (2), Colorado, Florida, Georgia (2), Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Ohio, and Pennsylvania matched five numbers, earning their owners $1 million each.

This historic jackpot comes after a long winless streak stretching back to June 1st, when a California ticket snagged a $204.5 million prize.

The next drawing will be held on Saturday, September 6th, at 10:59 p.m. ET. Tickets cost $2 each, with the option to add Power Play for an extra $1 to multiply non-jackpot winnings. Players can also add the Double Play for an additional $1 to have a second chance at winning $10 million.

Powerball is played in 45 states, including Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, as well as Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets can be purchased at various locations, including gas stations, convenience stores, and supermarkets. In Ohio, tickets can also be purchased online at http://www.ohiolottery.com.
