As of late Wednesday, many visitors were unable to access the official Powerball website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The winning numbers are 3, 16, 29, 61, 69 and the Powerball is 22, with a Power Play of 2x. The jackpot is valued at $1.40 billion, with a cash option of approximately $643 million before taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powerball, which is played in 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, holds the record for the world\u2019s largest lottery prize: a $2.04 billion jackpot won in California in November 2022. The current prize ranks among the top four largest in the game\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If no winner is declared, the next drawing will be held on Saturday, September 6. For this jackpot to enter the top three in Powerball history, it would have to surpass the $1.586 billion prize won in California, Florida, and Tennessee in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Watch the results of Wednesday\u2019s drawing in the video below:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mFJ0MMheAF8?si=fX0GBzbeUAa-KFex\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Powerball website crashed after the release of winning numbers for a jackpot estimated at $1.4 billion, one of the largest in the game\u2019s history.
