Powerball Jackpot Reaches Estimated $905 Million, Becoming Eighth-Largest in Game History

The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $905 million ahead of Monday night's drawing, securing its position as the eighth-largest prize in the game's history.

The top prize grew after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn on Saturday night. The winning white balls were 5, 9, 35, 54, and 63, with a red Powerball of 7 and a Power Play multiplier of 3.

The current jackpot carries an estimated cash value of $391.9 million, according to the lottery. The gap between the advertised annuity jackpot and the cash value reflects the total of 30 graduated payments funded by investing the cash prize over time.

The odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24.9, while the odds of claiming the jackpot stand at 1 in 292.2 million.

Although Saturday's drawing produced no jackpot winner, four tickets matched all five white balls to earn $1 million each. Those winning Match 5 tickets were sold in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, and New York. A fifth Match 5 ticket sold in Texas included the Power Play option, doubling the prize to $2 million.

Monday's drawing will be the 43rd in the current jackpot run. The Powerball jackpot was last claimed on May 2, when two tickets — one in Florida and one in Texas — split a $20 million prize.

Winners may choose between a lump sum cash payment or an annuitized prize consisting of one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments. Both figures are reported before taxes, and federal withholding along with applicable state taxes would reduce the final amount a winner receives.

Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the United Kingdom. Drawings are held three nights a week — Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Jackpot estimates are based on projected ticket sales and may be revised as the drawing approaches.
