NEW YORK<\/strong> – The Powerball is on everyone’s mind as the jackpot reaches a record-breaking $1.4 billion for Wednesday night’s drawing.<\/p>\n No one has won the grand prize since May 31, but when was the last time someone in New Jersey or New York got to be the Powerball winner?<\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n In New Jersey, the last time a Powerball jackpot was claimed was on June 10, 2024. A school bus driver, who remained anonymous, won a $221 million jackpot.<\/p>\n Later that year in December, a winning ticket was sold in Queens for a $256 million jackpot. That was the last time someone won in New York State.<\/p>\n Dig deeper:<\/p>\n The most recent Powerball jackpot, now worth $1.4 billion, is the sixth-largest thanks to 40 consecutive drawings with no winner.<\/p>\n The 41st drawing on Wednesday will be just one fewer than the record set last year.<\/p>\n All of that loss stems from Powerball’s abysmal odds of 1 in 292.2 million, though lottery officials note that the odds are far better for the game’s many smaller prizes.<\/p>\n The Source:<\/b> Information from this article was sourced from state lotteries.<\/p>\n Lottery<\/a>New York<\/a>New Jersey<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article NEW YORK – The Powerball is on everyone’s mind as the jackpot reaches a record-breaking $1.4 billion…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":198461,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,6411,405,403,50,5226,5225,15747,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-198460","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-lottery","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-city","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkcity","15":"tag-nj","16":"tag-ny","17":"tag-nyc","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-united-states-of-america","20":"tag-unitedstates","21":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","22":"tag-us","23":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115143786989183222","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/198461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
