It has been since May 31 that anyone has hit all six numbers in the multistate Powerball lottery, causing the jackpot to grow with each drawing.
On Wednesday, the streak of drawings without a winner reached 41, as no one matched the five white balls and the red Powerball. The jackpot was worth almost $1.4 billion. Without a winner, Saturday's jackpot will be even larger—$1.8 billion—making it the biggest Powerball prize of 2025.
