TL;DR Summary

No winning tickets were sold for the $922 million Powerball jackpot, pushing the grand prize for Wednesday night's drawing to an estimated $1 billion. This would be the third-largest Powerball jackpot in history and the seventh-highest in U.S. lottery history. The cash value of the jackpot is currently around $516.8 million, but it could increase further if ticket sales surge. The odds of winning are 1 in 292,201,338, and the last time the Powerball jackpot was claimed was in April. The Mega Millions lottery jackpot is also growing, with an estimated prize of $640 million.
