Powerball Jackpot Builds Back Up to $500 Million
Nobody matched all six numbers in Wednesday night's Powerball drawing, increasing the estimated jackpot for Saturday's drawing to $500 million.
The winning numbers drawn Wednesday were: 9-14-20-23-63, Powerball: 1.
A basic Powerball ticket costs $2, and to claim the big prize you'll need to match five numbers (1-69), plus the Powerball (1-26). The odds? 1 in 292,201,338. Assuming you win the Powerball jackpot Saturday, you can choose to take the lump-sum cash option and take home $242 million.
The Mega Millions jackpot for tonight's drawing is an estimated $122 million, with a one-time cash payout of $59 million.
