Powerball Jackpot Reaches .7 Billion This Week

Powerball Jackpot Soars to $1.7 Billion After No Grand Prize Winner — $1 Million Ticket Sold in Ohio!

No one hit the $1.4 billion jackpot in the most recent Powerball drawing, but there’s still plenty of reason to celebrate — especially in Ohio, where a $1 million winning ticket was sold.

Winning Numbers Recap:

While the grand prize slipped through players’ fingers yet again, multiple tickets across the country still brought in major prizes, including several $1 million and $2 million winners.

The next Powerball jackpot—set for Saturday’s drawing—is now a staggering $1.7 billion, officially making it the third-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history. If someone wins, they’ll have the option of taking the lump-sum cash value, which would still be an astronomical payout.
