What’s the jackpot now? Updated Powerball amount:
Before Monday’s drawing, the Powerball jackpot had risen to $375 million, with a $170.8 million cash option. However, there were once more no tickets that matched all six numbers: five white balls plus the Powerball. It was the 26th straight drawing without a grand-prize winner.
This means that yet more money has been added to the pot, increasing the top figure to an estimated $396 million ahead of the next drawing. The new cash value, meanwhile, will be an estimated $180.2 million.
It’s important to note that these figures are all pre-tax.
When is the next Powerball drawing?
The updated Powerball jackpot will be up for grabs on Saturday, July 4. As ever, the drawing is scheduled to take place at 10:59 p.m. ET/7:59 p.m. PT.
What are your chances of landing the Powerball jackpot?
Priced at $2, a single ticket has a one-in-292,201,338 chance of winning the Powerball jackpot, organizers say.
If you do scoop the pot, you have two options:
- Receive the full jackpot amount in growing annual instalments spread over 29 years
- Pick up the smaller, cash-value figure as an up-front, lump-sum payment
What other Powerball prizes can be won?
It’s the jackpot that grabs the headlines, but there are numerous smaller amounts to be won, too. Secondary prizes range from $4 to $1 million or more, depending on how many winning numbers a player matches.
Non-jackpot prizes can be multiplied by adding the Power Play option for an additional $1.
