Following a Michigan Lottery player's success in securing the $842 million Powerball jackpot earlier this year, the top prize continues to grow. As no one has accurately matched all the winning numbers in the drawing, the upcoming Powerball drawing's top prize is anticipated to exceed half a billion dollars.
Lottery drawings take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, with the next drawing scheduled for March 9, offering players a chance to win $521 million. The odds of correctly guessing all the numbers are 1 in 292.2 million.
While half a billion is a substantial amount, it falls short of being the largest jackpot in the lottery. The Michigan man's win ranks as the fifth-largest jackpot in Powerball history.
