$5,000 Welcome Bonus
People across the United States who bought Powerball tickets for the historic jackpot will be tuning in to watch the drawing on the night of Wednesday, Nov. 2.
The jackpot is set at $1.2 billion as of Wednesday morning. Its cash value totals $596.7 million.
Monday night’s winning numbers were 13, 19, 36, 39, 59 and Powerball: 13 — no one won the grand prize.
Wednesday’s drawing will be at 10:59 p.m.
Because there is no broadcast partner in Massachusetts, those looking for Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing can see the drawn numbers appear on the lottery game’s website, or watch online via the game’s YouTube channel.
Massachusetts lottery players should also check older tickets. Millions of dollars are left in unclaimed prizes, some dating back to 2016. However, some of those winnings will expire this year if they do not get claimed in time.
This is the second time in Powerball history that the jackpot has surpassed $1 billion, trailing only the world record $1.586 billion jackpot in January of 2016.
If hit, the $1.2 billion jackpot would be the fourth-largest in U.S. lottery history. The largest jackpot ever won in Massachusetts was a $758.7 million Powerball jackpot won on a ticket sold in Chicopee in 2017.
Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing will be the 39th since the jackpot was last hit August 3, when a $206.9 million jackpot was won on a ticket sold in Pennsylvania.
“When playing Powerball and other lottery games, we encourage people to keep the experience enjoyable by playing responsibly and within their means,” said Mark William Bracken, Interim Executive Director of the Massachusetts State Lottery in a press release.
In Monday night’s drawing, nine tickets sold in Massachusetts won $50,000 by matching four out of five numbers plus the Powerball.
