Updated Powerball jackpot
In Wednesday’s drawing, a $434 million jackpot was up for grabs, with a $195 million cash option.
However, there were yet again no tickets that matched all six numbers: five white balls plus the Powerball. It was the 29th successive Powerball drawing without a jackpot winner.
Ahead of the next drawing, the top figure will therefore rise once more, to an estimated $457 million. The new cash value will be an estimated $205 million.
These amounts are all pre-tax.
When is the next drawing?
The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday, July 11, at 10:59 p.m. ET/7:59 p.m. PT.
How likely are you to win the Powerball jackpot?
A single ticket costs $2 and, per lottery organizers, comes with a one-in-292,201,338 chance of jackpot win.
If you do land the pot, you have two options:
- Claim the full jackpot amount in growing annual instalments spread over 29 years
- Receive 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.
