Powerball jackpot surges to an estimated $1.23 billion after no big winner Wednesday

The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.23 billion following the latest lottery drawing without a grand prize winner. The winning numbers for Wednesday’s draw were announced as 11, 62, 65, 38, 41, and Powerball 15. The next Powerball drawing on Saturday offers a choice of annuitized payments or a lump sum estimated at $595.1 million. Despite no one winning the grand prize on Wednesday, nine players matched five numbers and won $1 million each. This is one of the game’s longest streaks without a jackpot winner, with the last win occurring on New Year’s Day.
