Powerball Fever Soars to $925 Million Jackpot Beckons in Friday's Drawing

The Powerball jackpot is on an impressive rise, now reaching an estimated $925 million for Friday's drawing after no one managed to match all six numbers in Wednesday's drawing, which was already valued at over $850 million. This upcoming Friday jackpot ranks as the fourth-largest in Powerball history.

The numbers drawn on Wednesday were 1, 7, 46, 47, 63, with a Powerball of 7. The odds of hitting the jackpot are incredibly slim, at approximately 1 in 292 million. Remarkably, there have been four winning Powerball tickets sold in 2023 alone.

This prolonged jackpot growth streak began after a winning ticket was sold on July 19, resulting in 29 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner.
