Powerball® Jackpot Climbs to Estimated $750 Million – 10th Largest in Game History

Mega Millions Jackpot Continues to Grow to Estimated $243 Million

JACKSON, MISS. – After rolling all summer long, the Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $750 million, making it the 10th largest jackpot in the game’s history. The jackpot has an estimated cash value of $338.6 million.

Tonight’s drawing will mark the 37th drawing since the jackpot was last hit in California on May 31, 2025. The jackpot was hit three other times this year: a $167.3 million prize in Kentucky on April 26, a $526.6 million prize in California on March 29, and a $328.5 million prize in Oregon on Jan. 18. 

Powerball tickets are $2 per play and sold at more than 1,800 licensed retailers across Mississippi. Players can add the Power Play multiplier for an additional $1 to increase non-jackpot prizes. The Mississippi Lottery has had six $50,000 Powerball winners in the past month, with four out of the six multiplying their prize to six figures by adding Power Play.

Players can also add the $1 Double Play option for a chance at a second drawing with a $10 million jackpot and separate prize structure. In February of this year, a player in Petal won the $10 million Double Play jackpot prize, the largest win in Mississippi Lottery history.  

Powerball drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 9:59 p.m. CST.
