Whether you bought a Powerball ticket or forgot \u2014 you have another chance to be disappointed on Wednesday, after no one won the $1.5 billion jackpot in Monday’s drawing.<\/p>\n

The estimated prize for Wednesday’s drawing rose to $1.73 billion, according to the Powerball website. No one matched the six numbers, meaning the prize rolls over.<\/p>\n

The jackpot has been rising since July, which is the last time someone won the top prize in the multi-state Powerball lottery game.<\/p>\n

The chances of hitting all six numbers is 1 in 292.2 million.<\/p>\n

If won Wednesday, it would be the second-largest jackpot in the history of the Powerball game.<\/p>\n

The record for Powerball was a $2.04 billion winning ticket that was sold in Southern California in November of last year, cashed in by player Edwin Castro. Months later, another man claimed in a lawsuit he had purchased that winning ticket which was stolen from him.<\/p>\n

The second-highest for Powerball had been the $1.586 billion jackpot that was won in 2016, and which was split between three tickets in three states.<\/p>\n

Powerball can be purchased in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n

Despite the hype, lottery officials have urged players not to go overboard.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlaying\u00a0Powerball\u00a0or any game offered by the California Lottery is meant to be fun \u2014 a simple and enjoyable way to support a great cause,\u201d California Lottery spokesperson Carolyn Becker said in a statement. \u201cPlayers should not spend above their budget or borrow money to play.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
