Powerball winning numbers for Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2023
The last time someone won the Powerball jackpot was in July, when one very lucky lottery player won $1.08 billion.
WASHINGTON, United States – The Powerball jackpot has increased again to $596 million after Wednesday night drawing failed to find a grand prize winner.
If all five white balls and the Powerball match, the winner can choose to receive the full $550 million through the annuity option – the amount paid out over 29 years. However, winners often choose the cash option. For Wednesday’s drawing, that’s a total of $266 million.
One lucky player in South Carolina will take home $2 billion for matching all five white balls minus the Powerball, plus the Power Play multiplier. Another player in Missouri won $1 million.
The last time someone won the Powerball jackpot was in July, when a very lucky lottery player in California won $1.08 billion, the third-largest prize in the game’s history. Since then, there have been 23 consecutive Powerball drawings without a winner.
It’s been a big summer for huge lottery prizes. Last month, a single winning ticket sold in Florida won the $1.58 billion Mega Millions jackpot, the largest prize in the game’s history.
