Powerball jackpot jumps to $975 million after another drawing without a big winner

A Powerball jackpot climbed to an estimated $975 million after no one matched the six numbers drawn, continuing a nearly three-month stretch without a big winner.

FILE - A customer purchases five Powerball tickets at a lottery agent, Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023, in Haverhill, Mass. to an estimated $975 million after no one matched the six numbers drawn Saturday night, continuing a nearly three-month stretch without a big winner.No one has won Powerball’s top prize since New Year’s Day when a ticket in Michigan hit for $842.4 million, bringing the number of consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner to 38.

As the prizes grow, the drawings attract more ticket sales and the jackpots subsequently become harder to hit. The game’s long odds for Saturday’s drawing were 1 in 292.2 million.Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
