Powerball Jackpot Rises to $820 Million with No Recent Winner

The Powerball jackpot for the upcoming Saturday drawing has escalated to an estimated $820 million following the lack of a winning ticket for all six numbers in the recent Wednesday drawing. The numbers drawn on December 3 were 1, 14, 20, 46, 51, with a Red Powerball number of 26 and a Power Play multiplier of 3X. The cash option for the next drawing is projected at $383.5 million, and the jackpot payout spans 29 years as an annuity option, both amounts subject to federal and state taxes. The odds of securing the Powerball jackpot stand at 1 in 292.2 million.
