The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $145 million for the Saturday's (September 27) drawing after no one matched all six Powerball numbers to win Wednesday's drawing, indystar.com reported. A California ticket matched all five main numbers but missed the Powerball, winning $1 million.
The winner will have the option of taking the full $145 million as an annuity paid over 30 years, with annual installments rising by 5%, or opting for a single lump-sum payout of $67.4 million, both before taxes, according to powerball.com.
Earlier this month, on September 6, two tickets in Missouri and Texas shared a massive $1.787 billion Powerball jackpot, marking the second-largest in US lottery history. That win ended a streak of 41 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner. Powerball’s long odds - 1 in 292.2 million - are designed to allow jackpots to grow when the top prize goes unclaimed.
Players across the US have a chance to win the multi-state lottery prize, with tickets offering the potential for life-changing winnings. Powerball’s large prizes continue to capture national attention, making the September 27 drawing highly anticipated.
