Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots are once again growing to staggering numbers.
ORLANDO, FL – Powerball the top prize is once again growing to staggering numbers, with a potential jackpot of $353 million up for grabs during Wednesday night’s drawing.
Wednesday’s winning Powerball numbers were 26-30-33-37-62, Powerball 6 and Power Play 2.
To win the top prize, players must match all five numbers and the Powerball. Chances of that happening? Less than 1 in 292 million.
The one-time cash value of Wednesday’s $353 million jackpot, which most lottery winners choose over an annual annuity, will be $185.6 million.
The next Powerball drawing will take place on Saturday, October 8.
Lottery fans can now play for two major jackpots: Mega Millions has also risen again to nearly half a million dollars.
After no one else won the top prize on Tuesday, Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot is estimated at $410 million with a one-time payout option of $213.8 million. This follows a near-record $1.377 billion jackpot that was won in late July. Two people came forward last month to receive this prize, but chose to remain anonymous.
While Mega Millions has had a few big jackpots in recent years, Powerball is said to hold the world record for the largest jackpot with a whopping $1.586 billion won in 2016.
