A $1.25 billion Powerball jackpot is up for grabs Wednesday night, with a cash value of $572.1 million, after no winner was selected Monday.
This is the sixth largest prize ever awarded to the game, according to Powerball. The largest prize in history was $2.04 billion won on November 7, 2022.
The Powerball jackpot was last held on Monday night, when no tickets matched the five white balls (23, 35, 59, 63, 68) and the red Powerball 2.
The Powerball jackpot was last won on September 6 with two tickets in Missouri and Texas splitting a $1.787 million prize. There have been 43 consecutive drawings without jackpots.
