It’s grown to the largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history. With no winner Saturday night, the Powerball jackpot continues to climb through billion-dollar territory and is now the largest ever. According to the Kansas Lottery, Monday’s jackpot is estimated at $1.9 billion, with a cash option of $929,100,000.
The jackpot rolled after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Saturday night – white balls 28, 45, 53, 56, 69, and red Powerball 20.
Monday’s drawing will be the 41st Powerball drawing since the jackpot was last won on August 3 in Pennsylvania. It ties the game record for the number of consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner. The previous longest jackpot run in Powerball history ended on Oct. 4, 2021, when a ticket in California won a $699.8 million jackpot on the 41st drawing.
Jackpot winners may choose to receive their prize as an annuity, paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or a lump sum payment. Both advertised prize options are prior to federal and jurisdictional taxes. The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
If a player wins Saturday’s jackpot, it will be the largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history. Powerball’s previous world record for largest jackpot was set in 2016. The record $1.586 billion jackpot was shared by winners in California, Florida and Tennessee.
