No Big Winner In Last Powerball Drawing Of 2021, Jackpot Rolls Over To $483 Million
MIAMI (CBSMiami/CNN) -- Feeling lucky as we close out the year? There was no big winner in the last Powerball drawing of 2021 on Wednesday.
That means the jackpot has rolled over to $483 million for the next drawing on New Year's Day. The cash value if someone hits it big would be $347.7 million.
The winning numbers Wednesday were 02 - 06 - 09 - 33 - 39 and Powerball 11.
It's been almost three months since someone hit the Powerball jackpot. A single ticket in California raked in a $699.8 million grand prize on October 4. Since then, there have been 37 drawings in a row without a jackpot winner.
While the overall odds of winning a prize are 1 to 24.9, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, according to Powerball.
Powerball holds the world record for the largest jackpot. The record $1.586 billion cache was shared in 2016 by winners in California, Florida, and Tennessee.
Tickets cost $2, and drawings are each Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
