Powerball Jackpot Nears Billion Dollars | Wilmington News

Powerball’s jackpot just hit $975 million after no winner on Monday—making Wednesday’s draw a billion-dollar shot at history. The cash option? Roughly $422 million before taxes. It’s been over 100 days since the last win, and this is the longest drought in recent memory. With odds of 1 in 292 million, tickets are still just $2 each—and if someone hits it, they’ll join an elite group: only 15 times has Powerball reached a billion. The biggest ever? $2.04 billion in November 2022. The drawing is set for Wednesday night—long shot, but the stakes are wild.
