Powerball Jackpot Rises to $663 Million for July 29 Drawing After No Winner
The Powerball jackpot has increased from an estimated $633 million for the July 27 drawing to $663 million for the July 29 drawing after no ticket matched all six winning numbers on July 27. Winners can choose between a 30-year annuity or a one-time cash payment, currently estimated at around $277 million and $290 million respectively before taxes. Despite the large prize, the odds of winning remain about 1 in 292.2 million. Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands, with multiple large jackpots claimed earlier this year.
