Powerball numbers stay elusive; Saturday jackpot rises to $925M
No winner — again.
The eighth-largest jackpot in lottery United States history was not won Wednesday when the Powerball numbers proved elusive for the 30th consecutive drawing.
The numbers drawn were: 1-7-46-47-63 with a Powerball of 7. The multiplier was 3x.
The rollover moves the Saturday jackpot to an estimated $925 million with $432.4 million for all cash.
It will remain the eighth-largest lottery jackpot since the top seven were all worth $1 billion or more.
Four tickets matched the five regular numbers. One each was sold in California, Kansas, Maryland and New York.
$1.08B winner not yet public
Powerball’s jackpot was last won July 19 when a ticket in California matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to win $1.08 billion.
The winner of that jackpot has not come forward so far, according to the California Lottery. Winners have a full year to come forward, and California Lottery officials are required to make the winner’s full name public.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are about 1 in 292 million, say lottery officials.
