After nobody won the six numbers on Wednesday, the $1.8 billion is still up for grabs. However, the California Lottery website said the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
If you purchased a ticket and your numbers are 61, 23, 62, 44, 11 and a Powerball of 17, you could be the winner and take home the win.
The California Lottery website states that if you did win the $1.8 billion drawing, then you would take home the estimated cash value $826.4 million.
The most recent Jackpot winner was in California after winning $204.5 million on May 31, choosing either an annuitized prize or a lump sum payment of $91.6 million, the California Lottery said in a statement.
This year so far, three people have been able to take home the jackpot after playing the Powerball, California Lottery officials said.
- January 18 – $328.5 million in Oregon
- March 29 – $526.5 million in California
- April 26 – $167.3 million in Kentucky
The largest jackpot on record was $2.04 billion, which was taken home by a California ticket buyer in 2022.
The California Lottery website said the results are usually announced two hours after the time of the drawing.
