Powerball jackpot rises to $600 million. See the winning numbers
The Powerball jackpot is rising yet again after the latest drawing.
The Powerball jackpot now stands at an estimated $600 million, with a cash value of $246 million, after no one won the jackpot on Wednesday, Oct. 14. It will continue to grow until someone purchases a ticket that matches all six of the numbers drawn.
It's been over two months since anyone won the jackpot. A player in Illinois won the last jackpot, an estimated $1.04 billion prize, on Aug. 12, ending one of the game's biggest runs in recent memory. Since then, no player has claimed the top prize, allowing the jackpot to keep growing ahead of the next drawing.
Here's what to know about Wednesday night's Powerball drawing and when the next drawing will be.
What are the winning numbers for the Oct. 14 Powerball?
The winning numbers for the Oct. 14 Powerball drawing are 3-34-37-42-46, and the Powerball is 20. The "Power Play" multiplier is 3x.
Did anyone win the Powerball jackpot?
No one won the Powerball jackpot or the $1 million Match 5 prize, but one person in Minnesota did win the $2 million Match 5 + Power Play prize.
When is the next Powerball drawing?
The next Powerball drawing will take place on Oct. 17, at around 10:59 p.m. ET. You can watch the drawing live on Powerball's website or rewatch clips on Powerball's YouTube channel.

How to play Powerball
Powerball tickets cost $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Depending on local laws, players may also purchase tickets online.
To play, select five white-ball numbers from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball number from 1 to 26. Players can also add Power Play for an extra $1 to boost non-jackpot prizes by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.

To win the jackpot, a ticket must match all five white balls and the red Powerball. If no one wins, the jackpot rolls over and grows.
Do you have to be a US citizen or resident to play Powerball?
You do not have to be a U.S. citizen or resident to buy a Powerball ticket.
Anyone who meets the legal age requirement where the ticket is purchased, generally 18 or older, can play while visiting a participating jurisdiction. Winners who live outside the United States are eligible to claim prizes, though taxes may apply.
