Saturday’s $700 million jackpot is the 6th largest in POWERBALL® history

Dover, DE — With no jackpot winner since November 19, 2022, the estimated annual annuity for this Saturday’s POWERBALL® drawing has an estimated annual annuity of $700 million dollars. If someone wins Saturday’s jackpot, it would be the 6th largest in POWERBALL® history and the 10th largest U.S. lottery jackpot.

“With so much excitement around the $700 million dollar jackpot, it’s important to remind Delaware Lottery players to always play responsibly,” said Helene Keeley, Director of the Delaware Lottery.

While no one has matched all five numbers and the POWERBALL® since November 19, POWERBALL® has had ten $2 million, twenty-two $1 million, and three hundred and ninety-three $50,000 dollar winners in the current jackpot run.

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. POWERBALL® tickets cost $2 per game. POWERBALL® with Power Play® cost $3 per game.
