Since then, there have been 34 consecutive drawings without a first-prize winner.

And believe it or not, the current jackpot value is less than a third of the largest Powerball jackpot: $1.586 billion, shared in 2016 by three winners.



Tickets cost $2, and drawings are each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET.
