The Powerball jackpot remained unclaimed as none of the tickets matched the six numbers drawn on Wednesday night. The winning numbers for that draw were 23, 35, 45, 66, 67, with a Powerball number of 20.
It has been approximately three months since the Powerball jackpot was last won in the April 19th drawing. On that occasion, a ticket sold in Ohio successfully matched all five white balls and the red Powerball, resulting in a grand prize worth $252.6 million.
Since then, there have been 36 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner. The ongoing series of drawings without a winner represents the longest Powerball jackpot run, spanning a total of 41 draws.
In addition, the Mississippi Lottery Corporation is urging players to check their tickets, as there are several significant prizes from both Mega Millions and Powerball that remain unclaimed.
Outstanding prizes for Mega Millions include:
