A historic Powerball jackpot went undecided on Christmas Eve. The grand prize reached an estimated $1.7 billion for the Wednesday, December 24 drawing. The cash value option stood at a staggering $781.3 million.

Lottery officials confirmed they are validating tickets. They have not announced any ticket matching all six numbers. An official update is expected once the verification process concludes.
How to Play Powerball and Prize Details
Players purchase tickets for $2 per play. The optional Power Play feature costs an extra $1. This multiplier can increase non-jackpot prizes significantly.
Ticket purchase deadlines vary by state. In many jurisdictions, sales cut off just before the draw. Players should check local rules for exact times.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are extremely long. The chance is 1 in 292.2 million. Despite this, the massive prize fueled a nationwide ticket-buying frenzy.
Where to Find Official Results and Information
Many states offer a Double Play add-on feature. For an extra $1, entries get a second chance in a separate draw. The top Double Play prize can reach $10 million.
Players should only sign the back of a winning ticket immediately. They must follow their state lottery’s claim procedures. Large winners are advised to seek financial and legal counsel.
The search for the Christmas Eve Powerball jackpot winner continues. Lottery officials urge all players to check their tickets carefully. This $1.7 billion prize remains one for the record books.
