After there was no winner in Wednesday night's drawing, Powerball's jackpot has climbed to an estimated $700 million.

The new figure, which bests its earlier $643 million jackpot, is one of the largest prizes in the history of Powerball . The last jackpot was already the largest of 2025, as the lottery has gone without a winner since May 31.

Preliminary data from the Multi-State Lottery Association, which helps facilitate the Powerball lottery , shows Powerball sales are 40% higher than they were at this point last year.

"As the jackpot increases, we expect ticket sales to increase," the association said.

While the size of the jackpot and the ticket sales have risen, the odds of winning the top prize have not. The chances of winning the jackpot stand at about 1 in 292 million.
