Saturday's (April 19) Powerball jackpot will be worth an estimated $131 million after zero players matched all six numbers during the $114 million drawing Wednesday (April 16) night.
Results from Wednesday's Powerball game are listed below:
NUMBERS: 20-24-42-43-49
POWERBALL: 19
POWER PLAY: 3x
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are reported to be 1 in 292.2 million, according to Powerball.com. One player won the $527 million Powerball drawing last Saturday (March 29).
A ticket purchased in California matched all five white numbers and the red Powerball.
The Powerball jackpot previously reset after one player in New York won the $256 million drawing on December 7. 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.
