The Powerball jackpot stands at a record $1.9 billion, after no ticket matched all six drawn numbers Saturday night.
jackpot stands at a record $1.9 billion after it rolled over Saturday night because no ticket matched all six drawn numbers — white balls 28, 45, 53, 56 and 69 and red Powerball 20. The Power Play multiplier was 3X.
The odds of any given ticket’s winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, and it’s those long odds that have led to three months without anyone having matched all six balls.“Like the rest of America and the world, I think we’re all eager to find out when this historic jackpot will eventually be won,” said Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko, the chair of the Powerball Product Group.
Jackpot winners may choose to receive their prizes as annuities, paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or as lump sum payments. Both advertised prize options are before federal and jurisdictional taxes are withdrawn.
