With three weeks until Christmas, the nation’s biggest present remains unclaimed. The Powerball jackpot climbed to $820 million after no one correctly picked all five white numbers and the red Powerball in Wednesday’s drawing.

According to lottery officials, the winning numbers in the drawing were 1-14-20-46-51; the red Powerball was 26. The PowerPlay multiplier was 3x.

The next drawing is at 10:59 p.m. ET on Saturday for a grand prize that remains the eighth largest in Powerball history. The cash option is 383.5 million.

Wednesday’s drawing marked the 38th consecutive time without a grand prize winner since Sept. 6, when two tickets shared a $1.787 billion prize. That jackpot snapped a Powerball record 42 drawings without a winner.

The largest jackpot in Powerball history is $2.04 billion, won by a single ticket in California on Nov. 7, 2022.

If someone should win Saturday’s drawing, they have two options: An annuity, in which the winner receives one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year, or the lump sum option. Choosing the second option will make the cash value amount approximately $383.5 million before applicable taxes, according to lottery officials.

The odds of hitting the big jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338.

One ticket in Kentucky matched five white balls and had a PowerPlay option added, giving the ticketholder a $2 million payday. One ticket in California and another in Florida matched five white balls to claim a $1 million prize.

Powerball tickets cost $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. States that do not participate are Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah.
