Powerball Jackpot Soars to $1.1 Billion: When Is the Next Powerball Drawing?

The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.1 billion, marking the fifth-largest prize in the game's history, following a Saturday drawing that yielded no jackpot winner. This Labor Day jackpot continues a streak of 40 drawings without a grand winner since the last jackpot win on May 31 in California.

Saturday night's winning numbers were 3, 18, 22, 27, 33, and the red Powerball was 17, accompanied by a Power Play multiplier of 3. Despite the unclaimed top prize, several participants came away as new millionaires. Nine tickets matched all five white balls, securing $1 million each, with notable winners hailing from California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. Additionally, three tickets in Colorado, Indiana, and New Hampshire doubled their payouts to $2 million with the inclusion of the Power Play feature.

Participants stand a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the jackpot. For those who secure the Powerball victory, two options are presented: an annuity with a projected $1.1 billion value, paid over 30 years with annual increases of 5%, or a lump sum payment of $498.4 million before taxes.

The Powerball continues to be a source of massive financial dreams, with tickets priced at $2 each and readily available in 45 states, along with Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Enthusiasts eager for a chance at the formidable prize can tune in for the next drawing, set for Monday at 10:59 p.m. ET, broadcast live from Tallahassee, Florida, and streaming online. This lottery fever gripping participants is further fueled by the game's history of creating billion-dollar winners, as seen with the record $2.04 billion jackpot claimed in California in November 2022.

This historic pursuit of wealth through the Powerball remains unwavering, and as Labor Day approaches, ticket holders across the nation look forward to the possibility of becoming the next multimillionaire.
