Powerball Jackpot Soars to Staggering $1.7 Billion Ahead of Saturday Drawing
The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.7 billion for the highly anticipated Saturday night drawing, following no grand prize winners in Wednesday’s $1.4 billion draw. This monumental sum, with an estimated cash value of $770.3 million before taxes, marks the third-largest lottery prize in U.S. history.
The record-breaking run continues as the jackpot has evaded winners for 41 consecutive drawings, tying a game record. The last Powerball jackpot was claimed on May 31, 2025. With ticket sales expected to escalate, there’s a possibility Saturday’s prize could climb even higher, potentially securing the second-largest spot ever.
Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 11 p.m. ET. Powerball tickets are available in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of winning the top prize remain 1 in 292.2 million.
