Powerball jackpot now $935 million after 12 weeks without a winner
Newsy
Saturday's drawing will offer the fifth-largest jackpot in the lottery's history as Powerball has gone almost three months without a winner.
Wednesday marked 37 consecutive Powerball drawings without a winner, causing the jackpot for Saturday's drawing to reach $935 million, the fifth-largest in the lottery's history.
The last time someone hit all six numbers in a Powerball drawing was on New Year's Day.
On Wednesday, the numbers drawn were white balls 37, 46, 57, 60, 66 and red Powerball 8. The odds of winning the jackpot are about 1 in 292 million.
Powerball also has prizes ranging from $4 to $2 million, and the odds of winning a smaller prize are about 1 in 25. There were nearly 1.7 million winning tickets for smaller prizes on Wednesday. Among the smaller prizes, five tickets on Wednesday hit all five white balls, which pays out at least $1 million.
Powerball is played in 45 states and Washington, D.C.
