Tonight’s Jackpot: $69 Million and Counting
Since no one matched all six numbers on Monday, the estimated jackpot for the Wednesday, May 13 drawing has risen to $69 million.
If a lucky winner hits the jackpot tonight, they will have two choices:
The Annuity Option: The full $69 million paid out in 30 graduated payments over 29 years.
The Cash Option: A one-time, lump-sum payment (typically about half of the advertised jackpot), which is the most popular choice for winners.
What is Method to Play and What Chances do You Have?
Powerball is one of the most popular lottery games because of its massive reach across 45 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. To play, you pick five numbers between 1 and 69 and one "Powerball" number between 1 and 26.
While the odds of hitting the Grand Jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, the odds of winning any prize are much better—about 1 in 24.87.
Pro-Tip: Don’t ignore the Power Play.
By paying an additional $1 for each game, you have the option to include the 'Power Play' feature. This multiplies non-jackpot winnings by 2, 3, 4, 5, or even 10 times. For example, if you match five white balls without the Powerball, you’d normally win $1 million. With Power Play, that prize automatically doubles to $2 million, regardless of the multiplier drawn.
When is the Next Drawing?
The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for tonight, Wednesday, May 13, at 10:59 PM ET.
Most states stop selling tickets about one to two hours before the official drawing, so be sure to check your local retailer’s deadline if you plan to play. You can watch the drawing live on the official Powerball website or through various local news stations.
Always remember to play responsibly. Lottery games are meant to be a form of entertainment.
