Powerball Jackpot reaches $ 1.7 billion, its highest third prize for all time

The jackpot is the only third prize in powerball to exceed $ 1.7 billion, which is based on the $ 2.04 billion record in California in November 2022 and the $ 1.765 billion jackpot captured in October 2023. If only one ticket corresponds to all six figures on Saturday, the winner can select the first time, a payment over 30 years. Million dollars – or one or one or one or one or one or one or one or one or open the first time to a 30 -year approach in total of $ 1.7 million – or one or once at a level of payment at around 30 years 770.3 million dollars before taxes. Federal taxes would immediately claim up to 37%, and winners in certain states may have additional state taxes, but states like Florida, Texas and California do not impose lottery prices.

The chances of winning the Jackpot Powerball are one in 292.2 million, according to official lottery data. For non -jackpot prices, global dimensions are more favorable in 24.87.

The drawing marks the 41st consecutive round without winner of Grand Prix since the last Jackpot was claimed on May 31, 2025 in California. As ticket sales inflate, education and public programs in participating states benefit from the increase in lottery income.

The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday September 6 at 10:59 p.m., and with the Prize Pool which increases quickly, those responsible say that it could become a record of all time if a winner is not crowned soon.
