6th Highest Powerball Jackpot In History To Be Drawn Saturday

CONCORD, NH — Saturday’s Powerball drawing is expected to be $760 million, making it the sixth-largest Powerball jackpot in history.

On Thursday, New Hampshire Lottery officials said there had been 32 drawings without a winner. The jackpot has grown since early October after a California player won the $1.72 billion jackpot.

If anyone wins Saturday, officials projected the one-time cash payout to be around $382.5 million before taxes.
