Lottery players have a chance to win big tonight as the Powerball jackpot for Saturday’s drawing has jumped to an estimated $1.4 billion after Wednesday’s drawing failed to produce a grand prize winner.
The winning numbers are 47, 54, 57, 60, 65 and Powerball 19.
The jackpot has a cash value of approximately $614.0 million, according to the Powerball website. Winners can choose to receive their prize in one lump sum or in 30 instalments over 29 years.
If one lucky player wins the grand prize, it would be the third-largest jackpot in the game’s history. Saturday’s prize would also be the fifth-largest US lottery jackpot, according to Powerball.
But players shouldn’t get their hopes up: The odds of winning the jackpot are only 1 in 292,201,338.00, according to Powerball. The drawing will be broadcast live on Saturday at 22:59 ET.
Powerball has not had a grand prize winner since July 19, when a single ticket sold in California won a $1.08 billion jackpot.
Wednesday’s Powerball drawing was the 33rd consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner. The numbers were 9, 35, 54, 63, 64 and Powerball 1.
The largest Powerball jackpot ever was a $2.04 billion prize won by one lucky ticket in November 2022.
