Will Saturday See the $950 million Powerball Jackpot Won?

Could this be the weekend that the Powerball jackpot is finally won? After yet another rollover on Wednesday. Tomorrow’s top prize will be at least $950 million.

Demand is expected to be extremely high in the run-up to drawtime. Who knows, it could even get to the amazing $1 billion mark this weekend.

38 Rollovers

It’s nearly four months since the Powerball jackpot was last won. 38 draws have taken place since the last jackpot success. All of which means that we have the sixth-largest draw on Saturday and the highest in the USA in 2025.

If the jackpot is won tomorrow, the lucky winner(s) can accept their winnings in one of two different ways. It can be claimed as an annuity spread over 29 years.

Alternatively, a one-off cash payment of $429 million can be received. Taxes will be levied on the winnings regardless of which method is chosen.

This is the first time since April of last year that the Powerball jackpot has reached $900 million. On that occasion,  Cheng “Charlie” Saephan from Oregon, USA was the Powerball jackpot winner.  Buy a ticket for this draw at Lottery24 and perhaps you might become a multi-millionaire.

Wednesday’s draw did produce some near-misses. The numbers drawn were: 09-12-22-41-61 and the Powerball 25. Six tickets made their owner(s) millionaires by matching the five main balls.

Set for Life success

While the Powerball jackpot has been rather elusive in recent months, August has been a great month for players of the UK’s Set for Life draw.

Thursday’s draw produced the second top prize winner in the past week. The top prize had also been won in the draw held on August 21.  English carer Joanne Gibson also won £3.6 million on the Set for Life lottery,  and stopped working night shifts.

Andy Carter is the senior winners’ adviser at Allywn, who run the National Lottery. Talking about the recent successes, he commented:  “Incredible! We have another top prize winner on Set For Life. They can now celebrate winning £10k every month for 30 years.”
