The Powerball jackpot rose to a whopping $600 million after there was no winner Wednesday.
The Powerball jackpot rolled Wednesday night after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn – white balls 21, 29, 54, 59, 62 and red Powerball 4.
This is the second Powerball jackpot to rise above half a billion dollars in 2024. The Powerball jackpot was hit five times in 2023:
- Feb. 6, 2023 - $754.6 million – WA
- March 4, 2023 - $162.6 million – VA
- April 19, 2023 - $252.6 million – OH
- July 19, 2023 - $1.08 billion – CA
- Oct. 11, 2023 - $1.765 billion – CA
The Powerball jackpot was last won on Jan. 1, 2024, by a ticket in Michigan that won a prize worth $842.4 million.
If a player wins the jackpot on Saturday night, they will have the choice between a prize worth an estimated $600 million or a lump sum payment estimated at $293.4 million.
The next Powerball drawing will be Saturday at 11 p.m. on WRAL News.
