No Winner, Bigger Prize: Powerball Jackpot Soars to $1.25 Billion

No ticket matched all six numbers in Monday night's Powerball drawing. Because no one won, the grand prize has grown significantly. The estimated jackpot for the next drawing is now $1.25 billion. This massive sum ranks as the sixth-largest prize in the history of the Powerball lottery. Monday's top prize was approximately $1.14 billion. The winning numbers were 19, 24, 40, 42, 56, and the Powerball 23. The next chance to win will be Wednesday night. The $1.25 billion prize is for a winner who chooses an annuity paid over 29 years. Most winners take a smaller, one-time cash payment, which for this jackpot is an estimated $625.3 million. Tickets cost $2 each. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
