Powerball Jackpot Grows To $430 Million

August 15, 2017

The Powerball jackpot has rolled 18 times, since the June 14, drawing, resulting in an estimated $430 million for Wednesday night’s drawing; the largest in the nation.

“The excitement is growing statewide and across the nation,” said Florida Lottery Secretary Jim Poppell. “This POWERBALL jackpot is not only a life-changing opportunity for any person, but it has already generated more than $28 million to Florida students and schools.”

Jackpot prizes are paid in 30 annual installments or as a one-time, lump-sum payment. Winners have 180 days from the applicable drawing to claim their prize. To receive the cash option of an estimated $273.4 million, jackpot prizes must be claimed within 60 days of the drawing.

Players should also check their tickets carefully; even if they don’t win the jackpot they can still win cash prizes of up $2 million.

Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing will be held at 9:59 p.m. local time, tickets must be purchased by 9:00 to be eligible for the drawing.
