Powerball Jackpot Hits $1 Billion | Los Angeles News

Powerball’s jackpot just hit a jaw-dropping $1 billion—up from $975 million thanks to record ticket sales—and it’s the biggest prize of the year and eighth-largest ever. With odds of 1 in 292 million to win it all, your best shot is grabbing a ticket before 7 PM Wednesday. But don’t forget: odds of winning anything are much better—at 1 in 25. Recent near-misses include California and Maryland each hitting $1M for five white balls, while Tennessee’s Power Play winner took home $2M. Double Play also delivered big wins in Colorado and New Jersey. This streak has been rolling since May 2nd, now at 44 drawings—and every $2 ticket funds local communities.
