What would be the fifth-highest jackpot in Powerball history – an estimated $865 million – is up for grabs Wednesday night, a day after a ticket in New Jersey won a Mega Millions grand prize worth more than $1 billion.
What would be the fifth-highest jackpot in Powerball history – an estimated $865 million – is up for grabs Wednesday night, a day after a ticket in New Jersey won a Mega Millions grand prize worth more than $1 billion. If Wednesday’s Powerball jackpot is won, it would be the fifth-largest grand prize in that game’s history. The jackpot jumped from $800 million after no tickets matched all six numbers in Monday night’s drawing. A jackpot winner in Wednesday’s Powerball drawing could choose to receive the money in annuitized payments or take a lump sum estimated at $416.1 million. The drawing will come a day after Tuesday’s momentous Mega Millions prize. Tuesday’s estimated $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpot was won by a ticket sold in the Garden State, lottery officials said without immediately saying where in New Jersey the ticket was sold. The winning Mega Millions numbers Tuesday were: 7, 11, 22, 29, 38 and Mega Ball 4. That Mega Millions jackpot, if confirmed at that level, would be rank fifth in that game’s history. The holder could opt for the full jackpot in annual payments or take an estimated $537.5 million lump-sum payment, the lottery has said.
