Powerball Jackpot Rises to an Estimated $650 Million

Must Read

The Powerball jackpot has risen to an estimated $650 million after no one matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing. The winning numbers were 7, 23, 24, 32, 43 and the Powerball was 18.

The jackpot has been growing since April 19, when a ticket in Ohio won a prize worth $252.6 million. This is the ninth-largest Powerball jackpot on record and the second-largest of 2023.

The next drawing will be held on Monday, July 11. Tickets can be purchased at most convenience stores and supermarkets across the United States. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.

If someone does win the jackpot, they will have the option of taking the prize in a lump sum or in annual payments over 30 years. The lump sum payout is estimated to be $328.3 million.

The Powerball jackpot is one of the largest jackpots in the world. In 2016, a single ticket in California won a prize worth $1.586 billion, the largest jackpot in Powerball history.

The Powerball jackpot is drawn every Wednesday and Saturday. The drawing is held at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time.

The Powerball jackpot is funded by ticket sales in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
