No Powerball winner, jackpot grows to 2nd largest at $800 million: When is next drawing?

No one won the Powerball jackpot Wednesday night, pushing the biggest prize to the second largest Powerball jackpot ever.

It’s been three months – 36 drawings – with no grand prize winner. The jackpot now stands at an estimated $800 million ($383.7 million cash) for the next drawing on Saturday, Oct. 29.

The jackpot ranks as the 2nd largest in Powerball history, only behind the world record $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot, and 5th largest in U.S. lottery history. The jackpot rolled over after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Wednesday night – white balls: 19, 36, 37, 46, 56 and red Powerball 24.

If a player wins Saturday’s jackpot, it will be the sixth time the Powerball jackpot has been hit this year. Previous jackpots won in 2022 include a $632.6 million jackpot hit on Jan. 5 and split by winners in California and Wisconsin; a $185.3 million jackpot won on Feb. 14 in Connecticut; a $473.1 million jackpot won on April 27 in Arizona; a $366.7 million jackpot won on June 29 in Vermont; and a $206.9 million jackpot won on Aug. 3 in Pennsylvania.

To date, Powerball holds the world record for largest jackpot set in 2016. The record $1.586 billion jackpot was shared by winners in California, Florida and Tennessee.

Powerball tickets are $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. You cannot buy tickets in Alabama.

Powerball drawings are broadcast live every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET (9:59 p.m. CT) from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. Powerball drawings are also live streamed online at Powerball.com.
