Middletown – The Powerball® jackpot has rolled again, growing to a $250 million annuity value, or a $166.8 million cash prize, for the Wednesday, Nov. 21 drawing.
The Powerball numbers drawn on Nov. 17 were 3, 15, 27, 58 and 59, with Powerball number 20. Powerball Match 5 winning tickets were sold in Florida, Illinois, New York and Texas.

The Pennsylvania Lottery advises players to purchase their Powerball tickets early to avoid any last-minute rush, and reminds players to always play responsibly.
How to play Powerball: Players pay $2 and select five white balls from the first set of 59 numbers plus a single red ball, the Powerball, from a second set of 35 numbers. Players may select their own numbers using a Powerball playslip, or they may opt for computer-selected quick picks. Players must match all five numbers drawn plus the Powerball number to win the jackpot. There also are eight additional ways for players to win a cash prize.
Powerball tickets are sold in 44 participating jurisdictions. Drawings are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Tickets are sold until 9:59 p.m. on those days.
