Wednesday night’s Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $815 million, the lotto said Tuesday, making it the seventh-largest pot in the game’s history.
The prize has an estimated cash value of nearly $368 million, Powerball said in a statement.
The jackpot soared after no one won Monday’s draw for the pot that then sat at $750 million.
Though there was no grand winner Monday night, two tickets sold in Georgia and Texas were worth $1 million each as they both matched all five white balls, while 26 tickets won $50,000 prizes.
According to the lotto, Wednesday’s drawing will by the 38th since a ticket in California won the grand prize on May 31.
Wednesday’s Powerball Jackpot is only surpassed in worth by six others, five of which were in the billion-dollar range. The most valuable was the Nov. 7, 2022, draw for $2.04 billion.
