Powerball Set for Record $1.7B Draw on Christmas Eve
The jackpot reached $1.7 billion after 46 consecutive drawings without a winner, with odds of 1 in 292 million, leading to a Christmas Eve drawing.
- On Dec. 24, Powerball offers a $1.70 billion jackpot for the Christmas Eve drawing, which will be streamed live on ABC 7 New York.
- After no winner on Monday, no ticket matched all numbers in the 46th drawing, a game record that began Sept. 7, causing the jackpot to roll over.
- The odds of winning are 1 in 292.2 million, with a $1.70 billion annuity or $781.3 million cash; two $1 million tickets sold at 45 Pine Street and Gurcharan and Brothers, 100 West Merrick Road.
- Local sellers report Greenville neighbors lining up to buy tickets, with Jennifer Davis, manager at Nuvu Fuel, saying sales rose to at least $700 in recent days as the jackpot nears the second-largest in history by Wednesday night.
- Proceeds have generated more than $36 billion since 1992, with more than half typically staying local and New York distributing $3.7 billion via the New York Lottery; advocates warn winners may lose fortunes and offer help through HOPEline and HOPENY.
