CONNECTICUT — With a high degree of luck that has eluded Powerball players since May, a Connecticut player could claim an estimated $1.3 billion jackpot in Wednesday’s drawing.

The last time a jackpot-winning Powerball ticket was sold in Connecticut on Valentine's Day 2022, a $185,300,000 annuity.

The jackpot in Wednesday’s drawing has an estimated cash value of $589 million. It’s the fifth-largest jackpot in the history of the Powerball game, and the ninth-largest among U.S. lottery jackpot games.
