LEWISTON, ID – The Powerball jackpot climbed to an estimated $1.6 billion for Monday night’s drawing after no ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday’s draw.
The jackpot has an estimated cash value of $735.3 million. It ranks as the fourth-largest jackpot in Powerball history and the fifth-largest among all U.S. lottery jackpots.
No ticket matched all six numbers drawn — white balls 4, 5, 28, 52 and 69, with red Powerball 20. The Power Play multiplier was 3.
“Powerball is giving players a chance to dream bigger than ever this holiday season,” said Matt Strawn, Powerball Product Group Chair and Iowa Lottery CEO. He noted that ticket sales also support public programs and services nationwide and encouraged players to participate responsibly.
Although there was no jackpot winner, lotteries urged players to check their tickets, as multiple prizes were won nationwide. Eight tickets matched all five white balls to win $1 million prizes. Those tickets were sold in California, Florida, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan (two), New Hampshire and Ohio. In California, Match 5 prizes are paid on a pari-mutuel basis and vary depending on sales and the number of winners.
The drawing also produced 112 tickets that won $50,000 prizes and 22 tickets that won $150,000 prizes.
In the Double Play drawing, a ticket sold in New Jersey matched all five black balls to win $500,000. Double Play is a $1 add-on feature that allows players to reuse their Powerball numbers in a separate drawing for a chance to win up to $10 million.
Monday’s drawing will be the 46th of the current jackpot run, setting a Powerball record for the most drawings in a single jackpot cycle. The jackpot was last won on Sept. 6, when two tickets sold in Missouri and Texas split a $1.787 billion prize.
This marks only the second time in Powerball history that back-to-back jackpots have exceeded $1 billion. The first occurred in 2023, when jackpots of $1.08 billion and $1.765 billion were both won in California.
If a player wins Monday’s jackpot, they may choose between an annuitized prize estimated at $1.6 billion or a lump-sum payment estimated at $735.3 million, before taxes. The annuity option includes one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5 percent each year.
Powerball tickets cost $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. More than half of all ticket sales remain in the jurisdiction where the ticket is sold. Since 1992, the game has generated more than $37 billion for causes supported by U.S. lotteries.
Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern time from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee, Florida, and are broadcast live and streamed on Powerball.com. The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9, while the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
