Powerball Jackpot Surges to $835 Million Ahead of Next Drawing

The Powerball jackpot has reached a staggering $835 million, making it the fourth-largest in the game's history.

The estimated jackpot has skyrocketed to a mind-blowing $835 million, making it the fourth-largest prize in Powerball history.

It's been quite a while since the last jackpot win on July 19, when a fortunate ticket holder walked away with a jaw-dropping $1.08 billion. Since then, there have been 29 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner. This has led to the accumulation of the current colossal sum of $835 million.

If you happen to be the lucky winner, you'll have two options for receiving your prize. You can choose to take the money as an immediate cash lump sum or opt for 30 annual payments spread out over 29 years. Keep in mind that neither of these advertised prize options includes federal and jurisdictional taxes, which will be deducted from the final amount.

To get in on the action, all you need to do is purchase a Powerball ticket for just $2. These tickets are available in 45 U.S. states, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET and are broadcast live from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. If you can't catch the live broadcast, don't worry because the drawings are also livestreamed on Powerball.com.
