Powerball Jackpot Rises to $47 Million for May 9 Drawing After No Winner

The Powerball jackpot has increased to an estimated $47 million for the May 9 drawing after no ticket matched all winning numbers in the previous round. Players can claim prizes via a 30-year annuity or a lump sum of about $21.1 million before taxes. Despite odds of roughly 1 in 292 million, Powerball remains popular across most US states and territories, with recent large jackpots fueling ongoing interest ahead of the next draw.
