The jackpot currently ranks as the 3rd largest Powerball jackpot and the 3rd largest U.S. lottery jackpot. If a player wins the jackpot on Saturday night, they will have the choice between an annuitized prize worth an estimated $1.70 Billion or a lump sum payment estimated at $770.3 million – both before taxes.

The jackpot rolled after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Monday night – white balls 8 – 23 – 25 – 40 – 53 and red Powerball 5.

There have been 41 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner since its 31/05/2025 drawing. The next chance for someone to get lucky will be Saturday.

Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington D.C, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of a ticket hitting the jackpot are 292,201,338 to 1. Players have roughly a 1 in 11,688,053 chance to win at least $1 million.

To play Powerball, you pick six numbers: five numbers between one and 69 for the white balls; and one number between one and 26 for the red Powerball. Selecting all of them correctly gets you the jackpot. You can also pay for the Power Play option, which multiples any winnings earned by two, three, four, five or 10 times the amount, depending on which number is drawn.

How can you increase your odds? You can buy more than one ticket, though you’d have to have purchase 292,201,338 to account for all of the numerical possibilities, which would cost more than winning the jackpot. You have much better odds of winning a small prize:
