KTSM News – Check your tickets: Powerball numbers drawn for $1.76 billion jackpot

Posted on October 12, 2023

(NEXSTAR) — Will you be the lucky winner to snap the Powerball jackpot losing streak? There’s only one way to know.

The winning numbers for the estimated $1.76 billion jackpot drawn Wednesday, Oct. 11, were: 24, 52, 40, 22, 64. The Powerball was 10, and the PowerPlay was 2X.

Wednesday marks the 36th drawing in this Powerball jackpot run, which began in July after a California ticket won a $1.08 billion prize that has yet to be claimed. The longest-ever Powerball jackpot losing streak is 41 draws, set in 2021 and 2022.


Didn’t hit the Powerball jackpot? Your ticket may still be a winner. Here’s how

A winner following Wednesday’s drawing would not only break that streak but land a record-setting jackpot.

At its estimated $1.76 billion, this jackpot is the second-largest in Powerball and U.S. lottery history, coming in behind a $2.04 billion jackpot hit last November in California.

Here are the largest lottery prizes in the U.S.:

$2.04 billion (Powerball): Nov. 7, 2022; California

$1.76 billion (Est. Powerball): Oct. 11, 2023

$1.602 billion (Mega Millions): Aug. 15, 2023; Florida

$1.586 billion (Powerball): Jan. 13, 2016; California, Florida, Tennessee

$1.537 billion (Mega Millions): Oct. 23, 2018; South Carolina

$1.348 billion (Mega Millions): Jan. 13, 2023; Maine

$1.337 billion (Mega Millions): July 29, 2022; Illinois

$1.08 billion (Powerball): July 19, 2023; California

$1.05 billion (Mega Millions): Jan. 22, 2021; Michigan 

$768.4 million (Powerball): March 27, 2019; Wisconsin

Should the jackpot losing streak continue, the jackpot would have to grow by more than $310 million to become the largest-ever.

With the exception of California, the jackpot would also be the largest-ever won in any state.

Jackpot winners have two options to receive their prize: an annuitized payout of gradually increasing payments over 29 years or as a lump sum. The payouts can vary depending on the state as well.

You may want to think twice about taking the cash option, though.


Win the Powerball jackpot? Think twice before taking the cash

Regardless of whether there is a jackpot winner, the next Powerball drawing will be held on Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET.

Powerball tickets are $2 each and sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition to Saturdays, drawings are held every Monday and Wednesday at 10:59 p.m. ET. You have a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the Powerball jackpot and a 1 in 24.9 chance of winning any Powerball prize.
