View Date:2024-12-23 15:43:47
The Powerball jackpot for Wednesday's drawing skyrocketed to a whopping $865 million after there were no winners in Monday's drawing.
The last time someone won a Powerball jackpot was in Michigan on New Year's Day, when one winning ticket matched all the numbers for a $842.4 million prize. Since then, there have been 36 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, according to Powerball.
The numbers were rolled and selected just after 11 p.m. ET on Wednesday, and we have the results from the drawing below.
If there is a winner after Wednesday's drawing and they choose the lump-sum payment option, they would take home $416.1 million after taxes, according to the lottery.
Here are the winning numbers for the Wednesday, March 25 drawing:
