US EditionPowerball Jackpot Jumps to About $1.5 Billion, the Seventh Largest in History
The $1.5 billion Powerball jackpot marks the second consecutive billion-dollar prize after no winner matched all six numbers Wednesday, officials said.
- Wednesday, Powerball officials said the jackpot rose to $1.5 billion after no winner, ranking among the largest prizes ever offered by the game.
- Because the drawing produced no jackpot winner, no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Wednesday: white balls 25, 33, 53, 62, 66 and red Powerball 17, and the prize rolled over for 44 consecutive drawings.
- Powerball's release shows the Power Play multiplier was 4, six tickets won $1 million each, two tickets in Arizona and Massachusetts won $2 million each, and 72 and 14 tickets won $50,000 and $200,000 respectively.
- The next drawing will be held on Saturday, and a jackpot winner can choose between the annuity option or a lump-sum cash value $686.5 million.
- Historically, this run is notable because Saturday's drawing marks only the second time Powerball has produced consecutive jackpots exceeding $1 billion, following the $1.787 billion split in September, with eight of the top 10 jackpots since 2022.
