Here are the odds of winning $1.1B Powerball jackpot

So you’re saying there’s a chance.The odds of scoring the current $1.1 billion Powerball jackpot are astronomically small — but not zero.Players hoping to win the jackpot face stiff odds of just 1 in 292.2 million, according to Powerball.But the odds of winning any prize at all are much more attainable at about 1 in 24.9.Lesser prizes run the gamut from $2 million down to $4, though the odds become considerably stiffer once single digits are left behind.Players face a 1 in 38.32 change of winning $4 — compared to a 1 in 11.6 million of taking home $1 million, and 1 in over 900,000 of winning $50,000.Grand prize winners must match five white numbers and the red Powerball.Five matched numbers without a Powerball brings home $1 million.

And hitting just the Powerball will fetch $4.Though enormous, the current $1.1 billion grand prize is just the sixth largest in history.The prize reached a record-high $2.04 billion in November 2022, which Californian Edwin Castro took home.And in September 2025, the prize reached its second highest ever at $1.7 billion.

Players in Missouri and Texas both hit and split the jackpot.The current prize climbed past $1 billion Saturday after a drawing yielded no winners.But not everybody missed the narrow odds Saturday.Two players in Pennsylvania and Saturday matched five numbers and scored $2 million each.And five more people across New Jersey, Michigan, Florida, Virginia and California won $1 million....
