Powerball Jackpot Reaches Estimated $1.1 Billion After No Winner in Saturday's Drawing

The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.1 billion, following Saturday night's drawing where no ticket matched all six numbers. This marks the fifth-largest prize in the game's history. The winning numbers drawn were 3, 18, 22, 27, 33, and the red Powerball 17. While no one secured the jackpot, nine tickets matched all five white balls, each winning $1 million. The next drawing is scheduled for Monday at 10:59 p.m. ET, with the jackpot's cash value estimated at $498.4 million. Players can choose between the annuity option, which consists of one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments increasing by 5% each year, or the lump sum payment, both before taxes. Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
