    Saturday's (August 17) Powerball jackpot will be worth an estimated $35 million after zero players matched all six numbers during the $20 million drawing Wednesday (August 14) night.

    Results from Wednesday's Powerball game are listed below:

    NUMBERS: 8-9-23-29-62

    POWERBALL: 13

    POWER PLAY: 2x

    The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are reported to be 1 in 292.2 million, according to Powerball.com . The Powerball jackpot reset after one player in Pennsylvania won the $214 million drawing on August 12.

    The Powerball jackpot previously reset after one player in Ohio won the $139 million Powerball drawing on July 3. One player in California matched all six numbers to win the $2.04 billion ($997.6 million) jackpot on November 7, 2022 , the largest jackpot offered in U.S. lottery history, according to the official Powerball website . Powerball has had jackpots exceeding $1 billion five times, including the $1.326 billion drawing on April 7, which took place the morning after the night it was originally scheduled due to technical difficulties.

    Mega Millions games have also exceeded $1 billion six times, which includes its largest offering, a $1.603 billion jackpot that was one by a player in Florida on August 8. Both jackpots increase during each following game until there's a jackpot winning ticket matching all six numbers drawn, which includes the additional Mega Millions Gold Ball or Powerball in each respective game.
