Saturday's (July 13) Powerball jackpot will be worth an estimated $54 million after zero players matched all six numbers during the $40 million drawing Wednesday (July 10) night.
Results from Wednesday's Powerball game are listed below:
NUMBERS: 7-11-12-27-46
POWERBALL: 26
POWER PLAY: 3x
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are reported to be 1 in 292.2 million, according to Powerball.com.
The Powerball jackpot reset after one player won the $139 million Powerball drawing last Wednesday (July 3). The Powerball jackpot previously reset after after one player from New Jersey won the $223 million drawing on June 10.
One player in California matched all six numbers to win the $2.04 billion ($997.6 million) jackpot on November 7, 2022, the largest jackpot offered in U.S. lottery history, according to the official Powerball website. Powerball has had jackpots exceeding $1 billion five times.
Mega Millions games have also exceeded $1 billion six times, which includes its largest offering, a $1.603 billion jackpot that was one by a player in Florida on August 8. Both jackpots increase during each following game until there's a jackpot winning ticket matching all six numbers drawn, which includes the additional Mega Millions Gold Ball or Powerball in each respective game.
