TALLAHASSEE – The jackpot for Saturday’s POWERBALL® drawing has climbed to an estimated $306 million; the largest in the nation. The POWERBALL jackpot has rolled 17 times since the March 21, 2018, drawing, generating more than $21.1 million in contributions to the state?s Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (EETF).
POWERBALL jackpots start at $40 million and roll until the jackpot is won. Players win by matching the five white ball numbers (1-69) and the red POWERBALL (1-26). The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are approximately one-in-24.87.
In addition to the jackpot, players have eight other ways to win non-jackpot prizes ranging from $4 to $1 million or up to $2 million if the ticket includes Power Play. The integrity of all games is of utmost importance to the Florida Lottery; players are encouraged to sign the back of their tickets at the time of purchase and keep them in a safe place.
