The Powerball jackpot has climbed to $875 million, making it the third-largest grand prize in the game’s history.
The jackpot rolled after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn on Wednesday night, which was 23-35-45-66-67 and Powerball of 20.
It’s been nearly three months since the Powerball jackpot was last hit in the April 19 drawing when a ticket in Ohio matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to win a grand prize worth $252.6 million.
Since then, there have been 36 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner. The longest Powerball jackpot run has been 41 drawings.
The Mississippi Lottery Corporation is also reminding players to check their tickets as several large prizes from Mega Millions and Powerball have not been claimed.
Mega Millions outstanding prizes:
