Powerball jackpot rises to $925M
The Powerball jackpot climbed to an estimated $925 million after no players hit it big Wednesday night, continuing a stretch of lottery futility that has lasted for more than two months.
The winning numbers were 1, 7, 46, 47, 63 and Powerball 7.
The jackpot for the next drawing Saturday night remains the world’s ninth-largest lottery prize.
The jackpot has grown so large because there have now been 30 consecutive drawings without a big winner, dating back to July 19. Powerball’s odds of 1 in 292.2 million are designed to generate big jackpots, with prizes becoming ever larger as they repeatedly roll over when no one wins.
