The prize reset for the following drawing to an estimated $20 million after a very fortunate individual claimed the $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot in Monday's drawing. However, because there was no winner on Wednesday, the estimated $47 million prize for Saturday night's drawing has now increased.
The odds of drawing the winning number, according to lottery authorities, are 1 in 292.2 million. A player must match all five white balls in any order, together with the final red Powerball number, to win the jackpot. But don't panic, matching fewer digits can still result in smaller payouts.
