Powerball: Here are the winning numbers for the $1 billion jackpot
(NEXSTAR) — Grab your tickets — the winning numbers for the $1 billion Powerball jackpot have been drawn.
Should your ticket match the winning numbers below, which were drawn Wednesday, you’ll be the winner of the third-largest Powerball jackpot in history.
The winning numbers drawn Wednesday, July 19 were: 7, 10, 11, 13, and 24, and red Powerball 24. The Power Play multiplier was 2X.
Ahead of the drawing, Powerball officials estimated the jackpot at $1 billion with a cash value of $516.8 million. The jackpot grew slightly to $1.08 billion, officials said during the drawing. At that mark, the jackpot remains the third-largest in Powerball history, but climbs to the sixth-largest lottery prize in U.S. history.
