Powerball: How $1.4B Payout Gets Cut Down
The $1.4 billion Powerball jackpot is the fourth-largest in the game's history with a cash value of $634.3 million and has not been won in 41 consecutive drawings.
- Wednesday's Powerball drawing features a jackpot of $1.4 billion, with tickets due by 9:59 p.m. ET for the 10:59 p.m. ET drawing where a New Jersey player could claim the prize.
- Over 41 drawings since May 31, 2025, Powerball officials increased the prize after reviewing ticket sales, approaching the record 42 consecutive drawings set April 6, 2024, in Oregon.
- According to Powerball's payout rules, winners may choose 30 annual payments or the $634.3 million cash option, about 45% of the $1.4 billion jackpot annuity.
- Statistically, the odds remain 1 in 292.2 million, even as Powerball has generated more than $36 billion for good causes supported by U.S. lotteries since 1992.
- A $1 million ticket was sold at Wawa, 8704 Sudley Road in Manassas, Virginia on Monday, and if the jackpot remains unclaimed, the next drawing could set a new Powerball record.
