The Powerball jackpot hit an estimated $810 million Saturday night after no winners were announced in the final drawing of 2023, lottery officials announced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next drawing will kick off on Jan. 1, offering players the opportunity to start the new year with a hefty prize that carries an estimated cash value of $408.9 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pot is now ranked as the fifth-largest Powerball jackpot and 10th-largest U.S. lottery jackpot in history, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. However, the odds of winning it are just as slim as ever, about 1 in 292.2 million.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re excited to offer our players a jackpot of this magnitude to kick off the New Year!” Powerball Product Group Chair and Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko said, adding that players are still reminded to play responsibly, especially during the holiday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If a player nabs the winnings, they can accept the annuitized prize worth an estimated $810 million or take the lump sum payment estimated at $408.9 million, both of which will have taxes deducted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
