It’s time to grab your tickets and check to see if you’re a big winner! Someone in California won a jackpot worth $1 billion in the Powerball lottery and 36 players won $1 million. The jackpot resets again for Saturday night’s drawing.
The jackpot was the third largest in Powerball history and sixth largest in U.S. lottery history.
Here are Wednesday’s winning lottery numbers:
07-10-11-13-24, Powerball: 24, Power Play: 2X
Double Play Winning Numbers
13-15-28-43-57, Powerball: 25
The estimated Powerball jackpot was $1 billion. The lump sum payment before taxes would be about $516.8 million. The jackpot resets to $20 million for Saturday’s drawing, and, if there is no jackpot winner, will begin to climb from there.
The Double Play is a feature that gives players in select locations another chance to match their Powerball numbers in a separate drawing. The Double Play drawing is held following the regular drawing and has a top cash prize of $10 million.
Powerball is held in 45 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The Double Play add-on feature is available for purchase in 13 lottery jurisdictions, including Pennsylvania and Michigan.
A $2 ticket gives you a one in 292.2 million chance at joining the hall of Powerball jackpot champions.
The drawings are held at 10:59 p.m. Eastern, Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The deadline to purchase tickets is 9:45 p.m.
