Powerball Jackpot Soars to $633M Ahead of Monday, July 27 Drawing — U.K. Players Now In The Pool

The Powerball jackpot climbed to an eye-catching $633 million as the search for the next grand-prize winner approaches the three-month mark. With no ticket matching all six numbers in recent drawings, the top prize rose again ahead of the Monday, July 27 drawing.

Why the Jackpot Is Growing

The jackpot has been unclaimed since May 2, when winning tickets in Texas and Florida split a $20 million prize. That result kicked off a rollover streak that transformed a modest prize into one of the largest lottery purses of the year.

Big Change: U.K. Players Join

Powerball has expanded for the first time to allow players in the United Kingdom to buy tickets that compete for the same headline jackpot. U.K. participation could add millions of players into the pool as the prize climbs. However, several important differences remain between the U.S. and U.K. offerings.

• Ticket price: U.K. tickets cost £4 (about $5.32), compared with $2 per play in the United States.
• Prize structure: U.K. lower-tier prizes are paid under a separate U.K. prize structure even though U.K. sales feed the shared jackpot.
• Payout options: U.S. winners can choose a lump-sum cash option or a 30-year annuity; U.K. winners receive annuity-style payments over 30 years through the U.K. National Lottery.

How To Play

Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as now being available to U.K. buyers through authorized channels. Tickets are commonly sold at convenience stores, gas stations and grocery stores; some states allow online purchases subject to local rules.

To play, choose six numbers: five white balls from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball from 1 to 26. For an extra $1, players may add the Power Play option, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X or 10X. You can also opt for a terminal-generated Quick Pick.

To win the jackpot you must match all five white balls (in any order) and the red Powerball. Drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings; if no one wins the jackpot it continues to roll over and grow.

Where To Find Results

USA TODAY will publish the winning numbers after the drawing at 10:59 p.m. ET. Official results are also posted by Powerball and state lottery websites.
