TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida Lottery's Powerball jackpot has climbed to nearly half a billion dollars.
No one has won the PowerBall lottery since December 26, 2018, and its jackpot has been steadily rising with each rollover since then.
The Wednesday, March 13th jackpot is now up to an estimated $448 million.
Tickets must be purchased before 10 p.m., and the live drawing it at 10:59 p.m.
Players must select 5 numbers from 1-69 and one Powerball number between 1-26 to play. Anyone who correctly selects all six numbers wins the jackpot. Those picking the 5 correct white balls will win $1 million, or more if a Power Play is purchased.
Fox 4 is the home of live Florida Lottery drawings in Southwest Florida.
