After no one won the Powerball jackpot on Wednesday, Dec. 3, the grand prize has once again shot up.
The jackpot rose to an estimated $820 million after the drawing on Wednesday, Dec. 3, with a cash value of $383.5 million, according to the Powerball website. The jackpot is the eighth-highest jackpot in the game’s history.
The next drawing, on Saturday, Dec. 6, could determine whether someone takes home the massive prize or if it continues to grow.
The latest jackpot comes just months after the second-largest jackpot in the game’s history, which was an estimated $1.787 billion, was won by two tickets sold in Montana and Texas on Sept. 6.
As of Thursday, Dec. 4, the Powerball jackpot sits at a whopping $820 million.
The next drawing will take place on Saturday, Dec. 6, just after 11 p.m. ET.
To play the Powerball, you have to buy a ticket for $2. You can do this at a variety of locations, including your local convenience store, gas station, or even grocery store. In some states, Powerball tickets can be bought online.
Once you have your ticket, you need to pick six numbers. Five of them will be white balls with numbers from 1 to 69. The red Powerball ranges from 1 to 26. People can also add a “Power Play” for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes.
The “Power Play” multiplier can multiply winnings by: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
If you are feeling unlucky or want the computer to do the work for you, the “Quick Pick” option is available, where computer-generated numbers will be printed on a Powerball ticket. To win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.
Powerball drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. If no one wins the jackpot, the cash prize will keep ticking up.
Tickets can be purchased in person at gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores. Some airport terminals may also sell lottery tickets.
You can also order tickets online throughJackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network, in these U.S. states and territories: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C. and West Virginia.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Two Augusta players won big prizes playing Georgia Lottery games on the mobile app.
An Augusta player won $50,000 playing Twice As Spice on Nov. 27, then an Augusta player won $16,998 playing Elephant King Jackpots on Dec. 2.
Lucky Powerball players in Georgia and South Carolina each won $1 million on Monday.
They were among players who won millions in the past few days from the Georgia Lottery.
One of the bigger winners was an Americus resident who won a $1 million top prize playing the Millionaire Maker scratcher. The ticket was purchased at Sam’s Danfair Express, 1101 S. Martin Luther King Blvd. in Americus.
Since it was established in 1993, the Georgia Lottery Corporation has donated proceeds from the state’s various lotteries to educational programs — and those contributions recently reached the $30 billion mark.
Also, a Powerball player matched all five white-ball numbers in the Dec. 1 drawing to win $1 million. That ticket was from the Publix at 5829 Campbellton Road in Atlanta.

The Pennsylvania Lottery has launched CASH POP™, a new Draw Game designed to offer players a fun and fast way to win.
How do you play the CASH POP™ game? Pick a favorite POP number between 1 and 15, match it to what’s drawn, and you win! Players can also choose the Quick Pick option when playing. One number is drawn, four times a day:
Players can play $1, $2, $5, $10, or $20 per POP. Your favorite POP number could result in a prize between $5 and $5,000, depending on the amount played. More details on game odds and wagers are available on the Pennsylvania Lottery’s website.
“The CASH POP™ game is designed to appeal to both new and experienced players who enjoy quick, exciting gameplay,” said Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko. “We’re excited to introduce this dynamic game that provides multiple ways to win with every drawing.”
The CASH POP™ game can be played at any Lottery retailer. Winning numbers may be viewed on palottery.com or players can check the Pennsylvania Lottery Official App to see if their number has “popped.”
Pennsylvania is the 17th lottery to bring the CASH POP™ game into the market.
“When you play, Pennsylvania seniors win. All proceeds from Lottery games such as the new CASH POP™ Draw Game go to help pay for life-sustaining services that help our older population with meals, transportation, prescription assistance and a host of other programs,” added Svitko.
The Pennsylvania Lottery recommends that you sign the back of your ticket to ensure you can claim any prize. Players have one year from the drawing date to claim their Draw Game prizes, such as CASH POP™, and must be 18 or older to play.

The Florida Lottery has launched the Player’s Guide, a new best-in-class website with detailed information on how to play and win the lottery responsibly.
The Player’s Guide serves as a one-stop-shop for the latest tips, resources, documents and how-to information for every Florida Lottery player — from beginners to experienced players.
The new website is an extension of the Florida Lottery’s current website, flalottery.com.
The Player’s Guide homepage, which can be accessed directly at playersguide.flalottery.com, drives players to two sections: “Play Responsibly” and “Win Responsibly.”
Content within the Play Responsibly section includes video tips for safer gaming, a discretionary income budget calculator, a detailed explanation of odds, and a myth vs. fact quiz. The Win Responsibly section includes information on where to claim a prize, payment options, documents needed to claim and how to manage winnings.
“I am proud of the work the Florida Lottery is doing to ensure its players are informed about how to play responsibly,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Knowing how and when to play is just as important as winning, and the new Player’s Guide website helps with those efforts. I look forward to seeing more great initiatives from the Florida Lottery as they work to maximize revenues for education in our great state.”
“Our new website provides Florida Lottery players additional informational tools for playing our games,” said Florida Lottery Secretary Randall Hunt.
“Whether calculating how much they can afford to spend, discovering the odds of a certain game, or figuring out where to claim a prize, the Player’s Guide is a one-stop-shop for players to play and win responsibly. This is another way the Florida Lottery is ensuring our players have the best chance at success — while remembering that every ticket is a winner for education in our state.”
“The Player’s Guide is a prime example of the great work the Florida Lottery is doing to promote responsible gaming,” said Lynne Roiter, Chair of the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee and Secretary General of the World Lottery Association. “With this new tool, they are empowering their players to be successful, both as a player and as a winner. The World Lottery Association looks forward to seeing the success of this wonderful initiative.”
