UPDATE: The Powerball jackpot has surged to an astonishing $629 million following Wednesday’s drawing, where no tickets matched the winning numbers for the $593 million prize. This increase brings the jackpot closer to entering the ranks of the top ten largest jackpots in Powerball history.
The grand prize has been on a steady rise since the last winners in September, who split an incredible $1.8 billion jackpot, marking one of the largest lottery wins ever recorded in the United States. Earlier this month, on September 6, two lucky tickets sold in Missouri and Texas matched all six numbers, taking home the second-largest prize in Powerball’s history.
The jackpot’s growth comes in stark contrast to the recent success of the Mega Millions lottery, which saw a winning ticket worth nearly a billion dollars sold in Newnan, Georgia. As players across the nation eagerly anticipate the next draw, the urgency to check your tickets is palpable.
