Powerball Jackpot Soars to $1 Billion After No Winner in Wednesday’s Drawing
The Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated $1 billion, marking the seventh-largest prize in the game’s history, after no ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday night’s drawing. The numbers drawn were 10, 16, 29, 33, and 69, with the Powerball number being 22.
This is the second time this year the Powerball jackpot has crossed the billion-dollar threshold. The last time the jackpot was won was on September 6th when two tickets in Missouri and Texas split a massive $1.787 billion prize. This current run has seen 40 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner.
The next drawing is scheduled for Saturday, with players vying for either an estimated $1 billion paid out in annual installments or a lump sum payment of $461.3 million.
While the allure of a billion-dollar prize is strong, the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are a staggering 1 in 292.2 million. Powerball tickets cost $2 each.
The largest Powerball jackpot ever won was $2.04 billion on November 7, 2022. Good luck to all players for Saturday’s draw!
