No one has matched all six numbers since May 31, allowing the jackpot to swell<\/a> to $1.1 billion, which would be the fifth-largest prize in the game\u2019s history. Payments would be spread over 30 years, or a winner could choose an immediate lump sum of an estimated $498.4 million, again before taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The odds of matching all six numbers are astronomical: 1 in 292.2 million. The likelihood of getting struck by lightning is far greater. But with so many people putting down money for a chance at life-changing wealth, someone eventually wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numbers drawn Saturday were 3, 18, 22, 27, and 33, with the Powerball 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powerball, which costs $2 per ticket, is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are held each week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
