Powerball Jackpot Reaches $1.5 Billion, Fifth Largest in Game's History
The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1.5 billion for Saturday's drawing, marking the fifth-largest prize in the game's history.
The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.5 billion for Saturday night's drawing, with a cash value of approximately $686.5 million. This marks the fifth-largest jackpot in Powerball history and the seventh-largest among U.S. lottery jackpots.
The jackpot increased after no ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday's drawing. The winning numbers were 25, 33, 53, 62, 66, and the red Powerball 17. The Power Play multiplier was 4X.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
Saturday's drawing will be the 45th in the current jackpot run, setting a new record for the most consecutive drawings in a single jackpot cycle.
Players can purchase Powerball tickets at authorized retailers or through official online platforms, depending on state regulations. Ticket sales deadlines vary by jurisdiction.
Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET, broadcast live from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee and live-streamed on the official Powerball website.
