The Powerball jackpot has grown yet again, reaching an estimated $875 million — making it one of the largest in the game’s history.
No players were able to match all six winning numbers after Wednesday night’s drawing, which were 23-35-45-66-67 and a Powerball of 20.
The new jackpot for Saturday’s drawing is the third-largest in the lottery game’s history, coming behind the world record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won last year and the $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot won in 2016.

If someone matches all six numbers and wins Saturday’s drawing, the winner has a chance to get the $875 million prize paid out in yearly increments or choose to get the one-time lump sum of $441.9 million before taxes.
There have now been 36 consecutive Powerball drawings without a big winner, according to game officials. The last Powerball jackpot won was on April 19 after a ticket sold in Ohio matched the winning numbers and won the prize of $252.6 million. READ MORE
