A $1.1 billion Powerball jackpot is still up for grabs as the next drawing approaches, with the prize set to be announced at 10:59 p.m. ET on Monday.
Record-Setting Run Without a Winner
The Powerball jackpot has now reached its 43rd straight drawing without a winner, setting a new record for the longest run without a grand prize awarded. The previous record for a single jackpot cycle was 42 drawings.
Prizes Awarded in the Recent Drawing
Although no jackpot winner emerged, several large prizes were awarded. Five tickets matched all five white balls and earned $1 million each in California, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey and Virginia. Two additional tickets, sold in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, matched all five white balls and the Power Play option to win $2 million each.
How Powerball Works
Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings occur three times a week—Monday, Wednesday and Saturday—and tickets cost $2. Adding the Power Play option, which can multiply winnings by two, three, four, five or ten times, adds $1 to the ticket price. The odds of hitting the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. The largest jackpot ever awarded was $2.04 billion in 2022 when a California ticket won.
Attorney Andrew Stoltmann says some of the most vicious legal fights over the lottery come from office lotto pools gone wrong. Here’s what you need to know before you buy in.
