“If no one wins the jackpot Saturday night, we are projecting an estimated jackpot of $650 million for Monday’s drawing,” a Multi-State Lottery Association spokesperson said.Ī ticket sold in California won the largest-ever Powerball prize of $2.04 billion on November 7, 2022. The drawing produced over 864,000 winning tickets for lower-tier prizes nationwide on Wednesday worth a combined total of $9 million. However, three lucky players in Florida, Ohio and New York won $1 million prizes, according to officials. No one matched all six drawn numbers – the white balls of 17, 24, 48, 62 and 68 along with the red Powerball of 23 – on Wednesday. Both prizes are before taxes, according to lottery officials. The lucky winner of Saturday’s jackpot could choose between the annuitized $615 million prize over 30 years or to take the lump-sum payment. The last time a lottery player matched all five white balls and the red Powerball was on April 19, when a winning ticket in Ohio earned a grand prize of $252.6 million. A person receives a lottery ticket for Powerball's 1.6 billion dollar jackpot in New York City, U.S., November 4, 2022.
