Jackpot grows to record-breaking $1.9B ahead of Monday’s drawing
The Powerball Jackpot continues to rise and break records ahead of Monday night’s drawing.
The grand prize now stands at $1.9 billion with a cash option of $929.1 million for the next drawing on Monday, Nov. 7.
The Powerball jackpot rolled after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Saturday night – white balls 28, 45, 53, 56, 69 and red Powerball 20. The Power Play multiplier was 3X.
Despite there being no jackpot-winning ticket, more than 10.9 million tickets won cash prizes totaling $102.2 million in the Saturday drawing.
Big winners include 16 tickets (CA-3, CO-2, FL, GA, KY, MA, MI, MO, NJ, NY, PA-2, SD) that matched all five white balls to win a $1 million prize. One ticket in Kentucky won a $2 million prize by matching all five white balls and including the Power Play option for an additional $1 per play.
There were also 219 tickets nationwide that won a $50,000 prize, and another 51 tickets that won a $150,000 prize.
The Powerball jackpot hasn’t been won in three months.
Monday’s drawing will be the 41st Powerball drawing since the jackpot was last won on August 3 in Pennsylvania. The jackpot run has tied the game record for the number of consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner. The only other Powerball jackpot run to reach 41 consecutive drawings ended on Oct. 4, 2021, with a $699.8 million winner in California.
The new jackpot tops the previous record prize of $1.586 billion won in 2016 by three Powerball players in California, Florida and Tennessee.
