Powerball jackpot climbs to ninth-largest in history. How much could you win?
The Powerball jackpot continues to rise with an estimated jackpot of $750 million.
If someone matches all six balls in Saturday night's drawing, the winner would take home the grand prize, which currently has a cash option of $357.3 million. The latest Powerball jackpot is the second prize to rise above $600 million this year and the ninth largest jackpot in Powerball history, according to lottery officials.
Wednesday's winning numbers were 13, 22, 27, 54 and 66. The Powerball was 9, and the Power Play was 2X. Powerball drawings are held each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. EST. Drawings can be viewed live at powerball.com/watch-drawing.
The Powerball jackpot was last hit in the Jan. 1 drawing, when a ticket purchased in Michigan matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to win a grand prize worth $842.4 million. Since then, there have been 34 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, according to lottery officials.
