• Saturday's Powerball jackpot is an estimated $1.5 billion.

Nobody matched all the numbers last night.

“This jackpot is set to deliver the ultimate windfall,” said Matt Strawn, Powerball Product Group Chair.

A single winner could claim a cash payout of $686.5 million.

Saturday’s Powerball drawing will be the 45th in the current jackpot run – a game record for the most drawings in a jackpot cycle. The Powerball jackpot was last won on Sept. 6 by two tickets in Missouri and Texas that split a $1.787 billion prize.

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
