The jackpot has reached its current amount after 42 drawings in the current jackpot run. The record for the most consecutive drawings in a jackpot run is 47 drawings.

Meanwhile, a $50,000 winning Powerball ticket was sold in Kentucky during Wednesday night’s drawing. The ticket was sold at Kroger, 1525 Madison Ave., Covington, and matched four white balls and the Powerball.
