Lottery fever is spiking.
Will a $2 ticket make you a multimillionaire? As they say in the lottery business, “it could happen to you.”
After no one matched all five numbers plus the Powerball in the Wednesday, Nov. 13, Powerball drawing, the jackpot jumped close to $550 million for Saturday, Nov. 15.
The current jackpot has since rolled over 27 times after resetting to $20 million on Sept. 8, when a pair of tickets from Fredericksburg, Texas, and St. Louis, Missouri, won the $1.787 billion Powerball drawing on Sept. 6.
And in Mega Millions news, one ticket from Georgia matched all five numbers plus the Mega Ball to win a whopping $980 million on Friday, Nov. 14. That Mega Millions jackpot rose on the all-time largest Mega Millions jackpot list and was so close to $1 billion. The jackpot reset to $50 million for Tuesday, Nov. 18.
But before that, there’s $546 million up for grabs with Saturday’s Powerball drawing. The one-time cash option would be $255.6 million, according to Powerball online. Saturday’s winning numbers were 6-7-12-47-53 and the Powerball was 21. Power Play was 4x. We’ll see if there’s a winner or another rollover.
In case you’re wondering, Wednesday, Nov. 12, winning numbers were 29-39-43-51-65 and the Powerball was 23. Power Play was 2x. Though those numbers produced another rollover, it wasn’t all bad news: There were two big winners in Wednesday’s Powerball drawing. Tickets purchased in New Jersey and Virginia matched 5 for $1 million prizes.
Tickets start at $2 a piece. Below is what to know about lottery odds, how long to claim the cash option if you bought a ticket in Florida, and what happens to unclaimed prize money, according to the Florida Lottery.
Good luck!
Powerball lottery drawings are at 11 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, including holidays. Saturday, Nov. 15, winning Powerball numbers were 6-7-12-47-53 and the Powerball was 21. Power Play was 4x. We’ll see if there’s a winner so soon after the historic $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot or another chance at more money for the grand prize.
The current Powerball streak started Monday, Sept. 8, after a ticket purchased in Fredericksburg, Texas, and St. Louis, Missouri, matched all five numbers plus the Powerball in the $1.787 billion drawing on Sept. 6, 2025.
Below is a recap of drawings and rollovers and how much the jackpot has increased over time.
Powerball drawings are held at 11 p.m. ET Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, including holidays. According to Powerball.com, players have a 1 in 292.2 million chance to match all six numbers whether the jackpot is $20 million or $2 billion. Prizes range from $2 to the grand prize jackpot, which varies.
The next Powerball drawing will be Monday, Nov. 17.
Prizes for Florida Lottery must be claimed within 180 days (six months) from the date of the drawing. To claim a single-payment cash option, a winner has within the first 60 days after the applicable draw date to claim it.
The Florida Lottery says its scratch-off tickets and Fast Play game prizes “must be claimed within 60 days of the official end-of-game date. Once the applicable time period has elapsed, the related Florida Lottery ticket will expire.”
According to Florida Lottery’s website, winners cannot remain anonymous: “Florida law mandates that the Florida Lottery provide records containing information such as the winner’s name, city of residence; game won, date won, and amount won to any third party who requests the information.”
However, the site states, the “names of lottery winners claiming prizes of $250,000 or greater will be temporarily exempt from public disclosure for 90 days from the date the prize is claimed, unless otherwise waived by the winner.”
Lottery experts and lawyers have said there are ways to remain anonymous if you win.

Bingo card-style game, where supporters encouraged to ‘buy’ words and phrases linked to contentious abortion bill, condemned by crossbench MLCs as a ‘grift’ that trivialised debate
Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates

A “fun little game” launched by the anti-abortion activist Joanna Howe to raise funds during an emotional debate over late-pregnancy abortion in South Australia has been referred for investigation.
Howe, who has worked with conservative politicians to introduce various state and federal bills to water down abortion rights, said the bingo card-style game was a fundraiser for an anti-abortion war chest.
She launched it on Wednesday as SA’s legislative council prepared to debate a bill to roll back access to abortion later in pregnancy. The bill was defeated by 11 votes to eight, with several MLCs becoming visibly distressed and tearful during the debate.
Howe worked with the former One Nation MLC Sarah Game, now an independent, on the legislation and stood with her at the press conference about its introduction.
In “Sarah’s Game”, Howe urged people to “buy” words and phrases which she said exposed “the cliched, predictable and evil language used by pro-abortion politicians”.
The phrases included “between a woman and her doctor”, “misinformation and/or disinformation”, “trust the experts” and “Trumpian-style politics”.
Howe initially said it would be accessible only through a private link, although it was publicly available until Thursday morning.
The Greens MLC Robert Simms told parliament on Wednesday the game trivialised debate and debased the parliament.
The independent MLC Tammy Franks said she was horrified that Howe was charging people to play a game centred on abortion.
“This is not an episode of Black Mirror. This is literally something that happened in SA,” she told parliament.
“She seems to always be on the grift,” she said, adding that Howe did not include words relating to those who would no longer have access to abortion under the proposal.
“Rape, incest, sexual slavery and girls, because that is actually what we are talking about here.”

Franks also told parliament Howe was one of the state’s top social media advertising spenders, splashing thousands of dollars on Meta to spread her messages.
The SA attorney general, Kyam Maher, said he would refer the game – which has a top prize of dinner with Howe and her furniture designer husband, James – to the “appropriate authorities”. Guardian Australia has asked the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs for details.
Howe, who is a law professor and expert in labour migration at the University of Adelaide, has been approached for comment. She said on Instagram that “as predicted the left is melting down over our game”.
Game told InDaily she had not heard about the game until after its launch and “did not feel strongly” about it.
Howe has been banned from state parliament after alleged “threatening and intimidating tactics” over a previous later abortion bill that she was also involved in creating. She has denied doing anything wrong and said she would challenge the ban.
In the lead-up to that debate, she worked with the Liberal MLC Ben Hood on a bill that, if a woman sought an abortion after 27 weeks and six days, would instead make her give birth.

During debate over that 2024 SA bill, Howe labelled female opponents members of the “Baby Killers Club”. On Thursday, she added those who opposed the 2025 bill to that “club”, with distorted images of them that appear to be artificially generated.
In recent years Howe has been prolific on social media and active in lobbying state and federal parliaments on abortion law.
The former prime minister Tony Abbott appeared at a rally she organised in New South Wales in May.
The One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts promoted her petition on “Priya’s law”, while his leader, Pauline Hanson, has visited Howe at home for a cup of tea and appeared on her YouTube channel.
Howe claims on YouTube that her movement can take “full credit” for putting later abortion on the national agenda. She said that after she posted about Priya’s law, Andrew Hastie, Tony Pasin, Barnaby Joyce and Henry Pike spoke out against it.
In 2024 she appeared in a press conference with the Coalition senators Matt Canavan and Alex Antic over another anti-abortion bill. Antic has appeared as a guest on her social media posts, including YouTube videos and Instagram reels, and at rallies she has organised.
In NSW, the Libertarian party MP John Ruddick thanked her in public for her activism and joined her rally and a speaking tour for his upcoming abortion bill. He has also appeared on her social media posts multiple times.
The Queensland state MP Robbie Katter has also been a vocal supporter and features Howe on his media release about another anti-abortion bill.
MPs opposed to anti-abortion legislation say they and their staff have received abuse and death threats from third parties after the controversies generated by Howe.
Howe also organised a rally on the parliament steps for Wednesday night with speakers including Game and Antic.

NEWNAN, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – What would you do with $452 million?
“I would pay all the bills off, probably buy my momma a house,” said Tyler Hayes, shopper at Publix.
That’s what one lucky Mega Millions player is thinking about after hitting the historic $980 million jackpot with a cash value of $452 million.
RELATED: Winning $980 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Georgia | Here’s where
“So it was won at this Publix?” asked Hayes, who was surprised to hear the news.
The ticket was bought at Publix on Highway 29 in Newnan. The player matched all six numbers from Friday’s drawing, hitting the largest jackpot in Georgia’s history.
Shoppers were happy to hear the news.
“Hopefully they do the right thing,” said Adam Gardner, shopper. “That’s so cool that it was bought here. I do stop by here but not very often. I might have to stop by here more often though.”
He is wishing the winner the best and that they can consider being gracious to the Coweta County community.
“Putting some back, I think, give it to your local churches would be the best option for sure because you can’t take it with you when you go,” said Gardner.
Besides investing in his businesses, giving back is something Gardner said he would do if he won the cash.
“Invest, give to the church, and support some family, and businesses, local businesses, kind of get us caught yup around here because everybody deserves it with the hard times right now going on,” he said.
“I think that they’ll do the right thing and give back to the community for sure,” said Gardner.
Publix will receive a $50,000 retailer incentive bonus. Proceeds from the Georgia Lottery go to educational programs in Georgia, such as the HOPE Scholarship.
