<p>The Powerball jackpot soared to an estimated $1.7 billion for Saturday night's drawing after no tickets came up winners of Wednesday's $1.4 grand prize. Saturday's pot of gold would have an estimated cash value of $770.3 million. Both numbers are before taxes.</p>

<p>The winning numbers for Wednesday's drawing were 3, 16, 29, 61 and 69, with a Powerball of 22.</p>

<p>The jackpot has an estimated cash value of $634.3 million before taxes, Powerball said.</p>

<p>There were no winning tickets sold for Monday night's $1.2 billion grand prize. There have been six jackpots of more than $1 billion in Powerball's 33-year history.</p>

<p>Jackpots rise as more tickets are sold when drawings approach. Wednesday's jackpot, which is also the sixth-largest in lottery history, surpasses a $1.326 billion jackpot that was won in Oregon in April 2024.</p>

<p>No one has won Powerball's grand prize since May 31, when a single ticket in California claimed a $204.5 million jackpot with a cash value of $91.6 million. So far this year, the jackpot has been hit four times.</p>

<p>The odds of winning the top prize are 1 in 292.2 million, according to Powerball. Drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 11 p.m. ET.</p>

<p>In 2022, a single ticket sold in Altadena, California, claimed a $2.04 billion jackpot, the largest in both Powerball and lottery history. The first Powerball drawing was in 1992.</p>

<p>Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.</p>
