The Powerball jackpot continues to balloon, now ranking as the ninth largest ever, and is slated to possibly exceed $700 million by the following draw on Saturday, March 23, 2024. This substantial increase comes in the wake of no winners emerging in the recent Wednesday drawing. The winning Powerball numbers that went unclaimed were 13, 22, 27, 54, 66, and the Powerball of 9.

Despite the lack of a jackpot winner, smaller victories were still achieved. In Michigan, one lucky individual managed to snag a ticket worth $100,000, marking it as the largest prize in the state for this draw.

In Florida, the lottery also brought good fortune with three Fantasy 5 winners in the mix. Over in Ohio, the lottery board is encouraging ticket holders to double-check their numbers against Wednesday’s drawing for the $687 million jackpot.

As the next Powerball drawing approaches, players nationwide are studying past winning numbers in hopes of securing the rising jackpot, which is nearing $750 million. The draw, scheduled for Saturday, at 10:59 p.m. Eastern time, offers the winner an option between a lump sum of $357.3 million or annual payments, profits measured before taxes.
