Saturday’s draw carries a cash option of $326m.
The hit
Powerball’s $723m jackpot went unclaimed after Wednesday’s draw, with 17 players matching four white balls plus the Powerball but missing the top prize, according to mlive.com. No ticket matched all five white balls either. Three of the 17 players had added the Power Play option, lifting their payout to $100,000 instead of $50,000. Across the draw, 858,426 tickets won a combined $5,692,898 in prizes. The jackpot now rolls to $760m for Saturday’s drawing, with a cash option of $326m.
Why it matters
The odds of matching all six numbers stay fixed at 1 in 292m regardless of the prize size, according to mlive.com. The last jackpot win came on 12 Aug, when a player in Illinois took home $1.04bn.
