<p>It has been since May 31 that anyone has hit all six numbers in the multistate Powerball lottery, causing the jackpot to grow with each drawing.</p>

<p>On Wednesday, the streak of drawings without a winner grew to 35, as no one matched the five white balls and one Powerball. The jackpot was worth $643 million. Without a winner, Saturday's jackpot will be even larger, making it the biggest jackpot for a Powerball drawing in 2025.</p>

<p>Saturday's $700 million jackpot marks the highest for any multistate lottery this year as Mega Millions' largest jackpot of the year so far was $349 million.</p>

<p>The last time the Powerball jackpot exceeded $700 million was on April 6, 2024, when Cheng "Charlie" Saephan of Oregon hit all six numbers.</p>

<p>Although Wednesday's drawing did not result in a jackpot winner, three players won at least $1 million by matching all five white ball numbers.</p>

<p>The numbers for Wednesday's drawing were 31, 59, 62, 65, 68 with a Powerball of 5</p>

<p>The odds of winning the jackpot are about 1 in 292 million.</p>

<p>Powerball also offers prizes ranging from $4 to $2 million, and the odds of winning a smaller prize are about 1 in 25.</p>

<p>Powerball is played in 45 states and Washington, D.C.</p>

<p>Since Powerball lengthened the odds of hitting all six numbers in 2015, the multistate lottery has generally had six to nine winners a year. All 10 of its largest jackpots have also occurred since 2015. The largest Powerball jackpot in history was $2.04 billion, won on Nov. 7, 2022.</p>
