COLUMBIA, SC (December 24, 2023) – Powerball® could make someone’s holiday extra merry this Christmas! The Powerball® jackpot is an estimated $638 million for the drawing on Christmas night. The jackpot has an estimated cash value of $321.1 million.
Only three Powerball® jackpots have been won on Christmas Day, the last ten years ago when a player in Missouri won a $71.5 million jackpot. For the year, this is the fourth Powerball® jackpot to exceed half-a-billion dollars.
Lottery tickets make great gifts. Last minute shoppers have until 9:59 p.m. on Monday to pick up a $2 ticket for the drawing at 10:59 p.m. The odds of winning it all are about 1 in 293 million.
The Lottery urges responsible play and reminds players that it only takes one ticket to win. So, please, play responsibly.
Good Luck and Happy Holidays, South Carolina!
