The Powerball Jackpot has hit $1.5 billion after no one claims Wednesday’s drawing.
It’s currently the third-largest lottery jackpot ever and will likely become the biggest in history if not claimed on Saturday, surpassing the $1.586 billion in 2016. That jackpot was shared among multiple winners.
This will be the 40th week in a row of not drawing a winner. The all-time high is 41 weeks from back in 2021 that sent someone home with a $699.8 million jackpot.
