Looking to end the year with a bang by winning big?

Wednesday’s $685 million Powerball drawing could be your way to paradise, but be cautious: no one has won a jackpot since mid October when a winner in California took in a much larger $1.765 billion prize.

The chances of winning the full pot of money is a slim one in 292 million.

Despite a smaller prize, someone had a merry Christmas in Revere on Monday. They won $50,000 on a ticket sold at Joe’s Market, matching four of the five numbers drawn and the Powerball number.

To win the full estimated amount, all five white numbers must match plus the Powerball.

Wednesday’s drawing will be the 33rd since the jackpot was last hit on Oct. 11. The $1.765 prize was the second highest ever, trailing the record $2.04B Powerball prize won in November 2022.

The cash option on Wednesday’s prize is an estimated $344.7 million.

Powerball tickets are $2 each and can be played in 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets can be purchased until 9:50 p.m. Wednesday at Mass Lottery retailers across the state.

Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m.
