The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.3 billion, ranking as the fifth-largest in the game’s history and the ninth-largest lottery prize ever offered in the United States, according to WEAR-TV. The next drawing is scheduled for Wednesday night, drawing national attention as hopeful players rush to purchase tickets.

While the massive grand prize remains unclaimed, one Pensacola resident is celebrating a life-changing win. A ticket purchased at Greer’s on Lillian Highway matched all five white balls in the most recent drawing, securing the $1 million Match 5 prize. The winning numbers drawn were 8, 23, 25, 40, and 53.

The Powerball jackpot has been steadily climbing since June, after no ticket matched all six numbers in previous drawings. With growing anticipation, convenience stores and lottery outlets are seeing increased sales as players try their luck at joining the small list of billion-dollar winners.

Lottery officials remind participants that the odds of hitting the jackpot are steep about 1 in 292 million. Still, the excitement continues to build, and millions across the country will be watching closely on Wednesday to see if someone finally claims the record-breaking prize.
