The final Powerball drawing of 2024 sees an estimated $163 million jackpot up for grabs after no one won the prize Saturday.
The game has seen nine winners this year, the largest of which came in April when three players in Oregon − including a cancer survivor − split a $1.3 billion jackpot. The most recent win came earlier this month when a ticket sold in New York had the winning numbers for a $256 million jackpot.
The first drawing of 2025 will occur on New Year’s Day. The holiday was lucky last New Year’s Day, with a Michigan lottery club winning an $842 million jackpot to start the year.

In order to purchase a $2 Powerball ticket, you’ll have to visit your local convenience store, gas station or grocery store − and in a handful of states, you can purchase tickets online.
To play, you will need to pick six numbers in total to mark on your ticket. Five numbers will be white balls ranging from numbers 1 to 69. The Powerball is red and one number which is between 1 and 26.
If you want to increase your chances of winning, you can add a “Power Play” for $1 which increases the winnings for all non-jackpot prizes. This addition can multiply winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
Players can also ask a cashier for a “Quick Pick” where a cashier will give you computer-generated numbers on a printed Powerball ticket.
Drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. If there’s no jackpot winner, the cash prize will increase by millions.
Tickets can be purchased in person at gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores. Some airport terminals may also sell lottery tickets.
