Powerball Jackpot Reaches $1.7 Billion After No Winner in Latest Drawing
The Powerball jackpot has climbed to $1.7 billion, the third-largest in U.S. history, following Wednesday's drawing without a grand prize winner.
The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.7 billion after no ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday's drawing. The winning numbers were 3, 16, 29, 61, 69, and the red Powerball 22.
This marks the 41st consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner since May 31. The upcoming drawing on Saturday is expected to feature the third-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The next drawing is scheduled for Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET in Tallahassee, Florida.
