$875M jackpot is third largest in Powerball history
The Powerball jackpot has grown to an estimated $875 million for the next drawing on Saturday, July 15. The cash option for the jackpot is an estimated $441.9 million.
The jackpot currently ranks as the third largest Powerball jackpot, only behind the world record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won last year, and the $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot won in 2016.
The Powerball jackpot rolled Wednesday night after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn – white balls 23, 35, 45, 66, 67, and red Powerball 20. The Power Play® multiplier was 3X.
The jackpot was last hit in the April 19, 2023 drawing, when a ticket in Ohio matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to win a grand prize worth $252.6 million. Since then, there have been 36 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner.
