The jackpot for the Powerball lottery rose to an estimated $750 million after no ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday’s drawing.
The numbers drawn Wednesday were 13, 22, 27, 54, 66 and Powerball 9. The Power Play was 2x.
No one won the grand prize nor matched all five white balls to win a $1 million prize.
If someone matches all five numbers plus the Powerball in Saturday’s drawing, the winner will have the choice of $750 million paid in yearly allotments or a lump sum of $357.3 million before taxes.
The Powerball jackpot was last won on Jan. 1 by a single ticket in Michigan that matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to win an $842.2 million grand prize. Since then, there have been 33 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner.
The highest jackpot in Powerball history is $2.04 billion, sold to a single winner in California on Nov. 7, 2022.
Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets, which cost $2 per play, are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
