The Powerball Jackpot is now up to $500 million, which is the largest it has ever been. The next drawing is scheduled for Wednesday night. As you may know, drawings are held each Wednesday and Saturday.
Last Saturday’s winning numbers were 22, 32, 37, 44, 50, Powerball: 34. There were no jackpot winners obviously. There was a winner for the $2 million Match 5 Power Play prize in New York. There were winners of the $1 million Match 5 prize in Arizona, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
There were a total of 2,070,976 winners that day, winning non-jackpot prizes totaling $25,237,878.
Odds of winning the jackpot, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, are 1 in 175,223,510.
