At the next drawing on Saturday night, Powerball players have a 1 in 292.2 million chance of raking in the mega millions.
After no tickets matched all six numbers from Wednesday's drawing, the Powerball jackpot rolled over once again to become the 28th drawing in this jackpot run. It's the eighth largest prize of all time, and the third largest prize this year.
Saying the odds of winning the jackpot are slim would be an understatement — about 1 in 292.2 million. You are more likely to be killed by an asteroid impact,The numbers drawn on Wednesday were 16, 27, 59, 62, 63, and Powerball 23. Powerball tickets, sold at $2 each, require purchasers to pick 5 numbers from 1 to 69, and a Powerball number from 1 to 26. A jackpot requires all six chosen numbers to match those drawn, but players also stand a chance of winning smaller prizes if they have other matching combinations.
Although nobody took home the grand prize on Wednesday, more than a million tickets across the country won a prize of some kind. That included two tickets sold in Georgia and Texas which matched all five white balls. Each of those won $2 million prizes with the Power Play prize multiplier feature. The next Powerball drawing will be held at 10:59 pm EST on Saturday. The jackpot winner can choose to either receive one immediate lump sum payment of $345.7 million, or the full sum in installments over 29 years.
