Powerball prize swells ahead of Christmas Eve drawing

The Powerball jackpot has reached $1.
Lottery players will have another chance at a historic payout as the Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1.7 billion, with a cash option of about $781.3 million. The surge follows Monday night’s drawing, where no ticket matched all six numbers. The upcoming draw is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 24, at 10:59 p.m. ET. If won, it would rank as the fourth largest Powerball jackpot ever, highlighting continued momentum in major U.S. lottery prizes this year.
