Goad NewsFebruary 6, 2023


  • The Powerball jackpot soared to around $700 million, with a cash option of $375.7 million, ahead of Saturday night’s draw.
  • If someone wins the estimated $700 million prize, it would be the sixth biggest jackpot Powerball has ever seen and the tenth highest in US lottery history.
  • The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are extremely slim, with odds of around 1 in 292.2 million.

Once again, no one beat the odds and won the $700 million Powerball jackpot in Saturday night’s draw.

The Powerball jackpot soared to around $700 million before the draw. If anyone wins the grand prize, it would be the sixth-biggest jackpot Powerball has ever seen and the tenth-highest in US lottery history, Powerball said.

No one has won the Powerball jackpot since November 19, which has meant that the lottery game’s top prize has gotten bigger and bigger in recent months. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are extremely slim, with odds of around 1 in 292.2 million.

If someone finally won it all on Saturday, the estimated $700 million prize would only be distributed if the winner selects a 29-year phased-in annuity option. Most jackpot winners opt for the cash option – which was $375.7 million for Saturday. The final amount taken home depends on state and federal taxes.

What are my chances of winning at Powerball?

While many lottery players may be tempted by a gigantic jackpot, it’s important to note that the odds of winning the Powerball grand prize are incredibly slim.

  • The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million.
  • The overall odds of winning a Powerball prize (all levels combined) are approximately 1 in 24.9.

How to play Powerball?

Powerball tickets are $2 per game. To enter the game, players select (or choose to be randomly dealt) five numbers from one to 69 for the white balls, and one number from one to 26 for the red Powerball.

To win the jackpot, you must match the numbers of the five white balls and the red Powerball.

Besides the grand prize, based on the number of matched balls, there are eight other ways to win a Powerball prize on non-jackpot levels of the game.

Tempted by the jackpot? Here’s how to play Powerball.

Non-jackpot prizes start at $4 and go up to $1 million. For $1 more, you can opt for “Powerplay” – which multiplies non-winning jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times.

10X Powerplay is only available when the jackpot is $150 million or less, Powerball notes. The game’s second-tier “Match 5” prize is capped at $2 million for Powerplay.

An additional add-on feature called “Double Play”, which gives players another chance to match their numbers after each Powerball draw, is available in some jurisdictions for $1 per play.
