Lottery fever steadily builds as the Powerball climbs past half-billion dollars. If you are going to play the Powerball lottery, there's some important information you need to know to play.

The next Powerball drawing will happen Wednesday, with the jackpot set at an estimated $681 million, according to the official Powerball website. Winning numbers will be drawn at 9:59 p.m. CST. Monday’s drawing had no Jackpot winners, though one person in Illinois won $1 million, according to the website.

Comedian Johnny Vegas has urged people to pick up their pens and pencils and "just have a go" at drawing as part of Bradford's City of Culture 2025 celebrations. Vegas is November's featured artist for DRAW!, a project inspired and supported by Bradford-born artist David Hockney.
