DES MOINES, Iowa — No one won the estimated $700 million Powerball jackpot Wednesday night, meaning the grand prize will grow to an estimated $800 million on the next draw.
The numbers drawn are: 19-36-37-46-56-24
No one has matched all six numbers and won the Powerball jackpot since August 3, allowing the prize to rise to the fifth-largest in US history. That amounts to 36 consecutive spins with no jackpot winner. The next drawing session is Saturday.
The absence of a winner reflects the odds of winning the grand prize of one in 292.2 million.
The new $800 jackpot is open to winners who receive their winnings through an annuity, paid annually for 29 years. However, nearly all of the winners actually choose the cash option, which would be $383.7 million after taxes.
The biggest lottery jackpot to date was the $1.586 billion Powerball prize that three ticket holders won in 2016.
Powerball is played in 45 states, as well as Washington, DC, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
