Powerball jackpot rises to estimated $810 million for first drawing of 2024
SAN FRANCISCO -- No one had the winning numbers for Saturday's Powerball drawing, pushing the jackpot for the Jan. 1 game to an estimated $810 million.
California Lottery officials confirmed Saturday night that no players had matched the selected numbers.
The numbers for the final Powerball drawing of 2023 were 10, 11, 26, 27, 34, with a Powerball of 7 and a Power Play of 4x.
The latest rollover extends the stretch of more than two months with no one winning the grand prize. And the last Powerball grand prize still hasn't been claimed.
Last time the jackpot was won was on Oct. 11, when a mystery winner from California nabbed a staggering $1.76 billion -- cash value $774.1 million. The ticket was sold at Midway Market & Liquor in Frazier Park, about 70 miles north of Los Angeles, according to the California Lottery.
But, so far, no one has come forward to claim their prize and they have one year from Oct. 11 to do so. If no one comes forward, the money will go to California public schools, according to Carolyn Becker, spokesperson for the state lottery.
Saturday night's jackpot carries a lump-sum option estimated at $383.6 million. It is the sixth largest in the game's history, according to Powerball.
Powerball costs $2 per play. Winning the jackpot means a ticket guessed correctly all five white balls plus the red "Powerball."
Drawings are held Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. ET in Tallahassee, Florida. Ticket sale cut-off times vary, but they are typically set one to two hours before draw time, according to Powerball.
The drawings are broadcast and can be live streamed on Powerball's website.
