The Powerball jackpot is now $1.9 billion after there were no winners for Saturday night’s record-breaking $1.6 billion jackpot.
The record jackpot win is $1.586 billion, set in 2016.
Monday’s drawing will be the 41st straight without a winner. The longest previous run was in 2021 when it took 41 drawings before someone clinched a $699.8 million jackpot.
Has someone won the Powerball jackpot?
Not yet.
No winning ticket was sold for Saturday’s drawing. The numbers drawn were 69-53-45-56-28, and the Powerball was 20.
When is the next Powerball drawing?
Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m., so the next chance will be Monday. The drawings are live-streamed on the Powerball website.
How much is a Powerball ticket?
Powerball tickets are $2 each.
For $3, players can purchase a ticket with Power Play, which offers the chance to win more money. Before the drawing, a Power Play number by which all the non-jackpot prizes will be multiplied is randomly chosen. The prizes can be multiplied by two, three, four, five or 10. If you win a prize and you bought a Power Play ticket, you’ll get the multiplied prize rather than the regular amount, according to Powerball.
Tickets can be purchased in all states except Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah, as well as in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Tickets are generally sold up to one or two hours before the next drawing, Svitko said, but players should check with their local jurisdictions for cutoff times.
What are the odds of winning?
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. The odds of winning any prize — which ranges from $4 to the jackpot — are 1 in 24.9, according to Powerball.
People have about a 1 in 38 chance of guessing just the Powerball number correctly, which yields a win of $4. The odds for each prize get progressively slimmer as the prizes get bigger.
What is the difference between Powerball and Mega Millions?
Mega Millions and Powerball are the two largest jackpot lottery games in the United States. They both cost $2 for a regular ticket and require players to pick five numbers for the lottery’s white balls and one number for the gold Mega Ball or red Powerball. In each game, players can win smaller prizes if they match lesser combinations of the winning numbers.
The Mega Millions jackpot is currently $154 million, with the next drawing at 11 p.m. Tuesday.
