Today's Powerball Numbers
The Powerball draw on June 4 unfolded with the following winning numbers: 17, 35, 45, 5, and 23, and the Powerball number being 24.
Claiming Your Winnings
Here's a bit of a catch—you've only got between 180 to 365 days to lay claim to your prize, depending on where you bought your ticket. You can opt for a single, lump-sum payment or 30 yearly installments, with the first payment happening immediately. Number crunchers reveal that most winners usually go for the big, immediate payday, even if it means a chunkier chunk of change.
To play Powerball, you simply need to select five numbers between 1 and 69 for the white balls and one number between 1 and 26 for the red Powerball or Extra. If you manage to match all six numbers, congratulations, you've hit the jackpot!
In case there are multiple winners, the jackpot is shared equally among the lucky few.
Leaving Millions Unclaimed
If a player fails to lay claim to their prize within the stipulated time, tough luck—sorry, audi, it's amorre gone! Each state has its own laws regarding unclaimed prizes. Generally, the money gets channelled towards education or social programs.

The Powerball Legacy
In late 2022, the historical jackpot reached a whopping $2.04 billion and was won by a lucky fellow from California named Edwin Castro. After a lengthy legal battle, Castro finally got some good news in early October 2024, when the judge handling his case dismissed a lawsuit by José Rivera, who claimed that his winning ticket had been stolen.
Introduced in 1988 as Lotto America, Powerball received a refresh in 2017. Before the name change in 1992, it was called Powerball, and the x10 multiplier was added in 2015.
