Powerball jackpot swells past $900M — here are the odds of winning the prize

New York Post
The Powerball jackpot has swelled past $900 million, the eighth largest payout in history — but the odds show players are more likely to be struck by lightning twice win.
The jackpot is now $905 million ahead of the next drawing Monday after no one matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing.
The largest ever jackpot was an eye-watering $2.04 billion in 2022, with the winning ticket purchased in California.
Although nobody won Saturday’s previous grand prize of $856 million, someone in Texas was lucky enough to hit all five white balls plus the Power Play to take home $2 million, according to Powerball.
Four other tickets, including one sold in New York, matched all five white balls and won $1 million each, according to the lottery.
