The Powerball lottery is a multi-state game that is played in 45 states, as well as in Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. To play, participants must choose five white balls from a pool of 69 and one red ball from a pool of 26. To win the jackpot, a player must match all five white balls and the red ball.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are incredibly low, with a 1 in 292 million chance of winning. Despite the odds, millions of people participate in every Powerball drawing, hoping to be the lucky winner. The drawing on July 8th, 2023 was no exception, with people lining up at lottery retailers across the country to purchase their tickets.
The Powerball drawing takes place twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and the results are announced shortly after the drawing. The results for the July 8th drawing were eagerly anticipated, with people checking their tickets against the winning numbers as soon as they were announced.
Unfortunately, no one won the $630 million jackpot in the July 8th Powerball drawing. The winning numbers were 10, 20, 38, 44, 56, and the red Powerball number was 23. While no one won the jackpot, there were still some big winners in the drawing.
