The Powerball jackpot rose to an estimated $925 million Wednesday after no one matched all the numbers to claim the top prize, according to the game’s website.
The numbers drawn Wednesday night were 1-7-46-47-63 with a Powerball of 7.
The jackpot had been $850 million going into Wednesday’s drawing. Since no one won, it rolls over and increases for the next drawing on Saturday.
The $925-million jackpot, likely the amount going into the most recent drawing, is the fourth-largest in the 35-year history of the lottery game, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which helps coordinate it. The top three, including the one won in July, are all over $1 billion.
After no one won the top prize on Monday, the jackpot had been estimated to be around $835 million. Game officials said that strong sales caused the increase to $850 million.
The last time there was a jackpot winner was July 19, when someone in California won the $1.08 billion top prize.
That was the third-largest in game history. The highest ever was $2.04 billion in 2022, also by someone who bought the ticket in California; and the second-largest was the $1.586 billion won in 2016, which was split by three winning tickets.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
