POWERBALL® jackpot soars to $400 million.
Dover, DE — Since the last winning POWERBALL® ticket for the February 14 drawing was sold in Connecticut, the jackpot has continued to climb every week. This Saturday, the POWERBALL® jackpot will have an estimated annuity of $400 million dollars.
“POWERBALL® is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and it would be so exciting to see a Delaware Lottery player celebrate POWERBALL®’s 3rd jackpot of 2022 this weekend,” said Vernon Kirk, Director of the Delaware Lottery.
So far this year, a $632,600,000 jackpot on January 5th was split between two winning tickets (California and Wisconsin), and a single winning ticket was sold in Connecticut for a $185,000,000 jackpot in the February 4th drawing.
POWERBALL® drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights at 11:00PM EST. Tickets can be purchased until 9:45PM EST on the day of the drawing.
