Powerball Jackpot Reaches $1 Billion After No Winner in Latest Drawing

The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1 billion after no ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday night's drawing. This marks the second time this year that the jackpot has reached the billion-dollar threshold and stands as the seventh-largest prize in the game's history. The estimated cash value of the jackpot is $461.3 million.

The winning numbers drawn on Wednesday were 10, 16, 29, 33, 69, with the Powerball number 22. The Power Play multiplier was 3x. The jackpot has been growing since September 6, when two tickets in Missouri and Texas split a $1.787 billion prize. There have now been 41 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner.

The largest Powerball prize to date was $2.04 billion, won on November 7, 2022. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, with tickets sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
