Powerball Jackpot Worth World-Record $1.6 Billion in Saturday Night Drawing
(CTN News) – According to lottery authorities, the anticipated $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot for the U.S. Powerball game chosen on Saturday night surpasses the previous global record established in 2016.
Since August 3, no one has won the jackpot, enabling the reward money to soar and driving brisk business at gas stations and newsstands around the country where people may purchase Powerball tickets for $2 each.
According to lottery authorities, players have a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the jackpot and a 1 in 24.9 chance of winning a lesser reward. A player must predict all six fortunate numbers to win the huge prize, including the last “Powerball.”
A lump sum cash prize or an annuity with 30 progressive instalments spread over 29 years are both options for winners. Both federal and local taxes are due on both kinds of gains.
There will be a drawing at 10:50 p.m. EDT in Tallahassee, the state capital of Florida, on Saturday (0250 GMT on Sunday). The victory on August 3 will be the 40th Powerball drawing.
On October 4, 2021, a California ticket purchaser won a $699.8 million jackpot after 41 draws, ending the lottery’s longest streak.
