Powerball: $302M jackpot up for grabs on Saturday, June 20.
Powerball jackpots are about to be much larger. Reporter explains.
USA TODAY’s Fernando Cervantes explains the historic agreement with the UK National Lottery.
The Powerball jackpot is back above $300 million for the lottery on Saturday, June 20 after no ticket matched all six numbers earlier this week.
Tonight’s prize is now estimated at $302 million, with a $135.3 million cash option, marking the latest rollover since two tickets split a $20 million jackpot on May 2, even as seven jackpots have already been won nationwide in 2026.
Since launching in 1992, Powerball jackpots have been hit more than 400 times. Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin rank among the states with the most jackpot-winning tickets.

How to play Powerball
Powerball tickets cost $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets can be purchased at convenience stores, gas stations and grocery stores, and in some states online.
Players pick five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. For an extra $1, the Power Play option can multiply non-jackpot winnings. A Quick Pick allows the computer to select numbers at random.
To win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls and the red Powerball. Drawings are held Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights, and the jackpot grows until it is won.
