No Powerball Winner Wednesday Jackpot Now At $1.7 billion, 3rd Largest In History

The Powerball jackpot skyrocketed to $1.7 billion after no winner matched all six numbers in Wednesday’s drawing, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. The winning numbers were 3, 16, 29, 61, 69, and red Powerball 22, with a Power Play multiplier of 2. The next drawing is Saturday night. The new jackpot is the third largest in both Powerball and US lottery history, behind only the record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won in 2022, and the $1.765 billion Powerball jackpot won in 2023. Both of those prizes were won in California, according to the association, which runs the Powerball game. Saturday’s drawing will be the 42nd since the Powerball jackpot was last won on May 31 in California. The current streak is the game record for the most consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, the Multi-State Lottery Association said on Friday, issuing a correction to its previous track of plays without a jackpot winning ticket. Previously, the record stood at 41 drawings, which occurred last on April 6, 2024, with a $1.326 billion jackpot won in Oregon.
