Saturday\u2019s Powerball drawing marks the 37th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner, sending the grand prize to an estimated $1 billion ahead of Monday\u2019s drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is only the second time in the lottery game\u2019s history that the jackpot has reached $1 billion, according to Powerball<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday\u2019s numbers were white balls 19, 31, 40, 46, 57 and red Powerball 23. Six tickets (one each in Maryland and Texas, and two each in California and Michigan) landed $1 million prizes after matching all five white balls. A ticket in Florida matched all five white balls and, thanks to the Power Play feature, landed a $2 million prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday\u2019s estimated $1 billion jackpot is the fifth-largest jackpot in U.S. history and the second-largest Powerball jackpot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the 10 largest Powerball jackpots to date:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. $1.586 Billion: Jan. 13, 2016 (CA, FL, TN)<\/li>
  2. $1 Billion (Estimated): Oct. 31, 2022<\/em><\/li>
  3. $768.4 Million: March 27, 2019 (WI)<\/li>
  4. $758.7 Million: Aug. 23, 2017 (MA)<\/li>
  5. $731.1 Million: Jan. 20, 2021 (MD)<\/li>
  6. $699.8 Million: Oct. 4, 2021 (CA)<\/li>
  7. $687.8 Million: Oct. 27, 2018 (IA, NY)<\/li>
  8. $632.6 Million: Jan. 5, 2022 (CA, WI)<\/li>
  9. $590.5 Million: May 18, 2013 (FL)<\/li>
  10. $587.5 Million: Nov. 28, 2012 (AZ, MO)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The Powerball jackpot hasn\u2019t been hit since early August when a ticket in Pennsylvania landed a $206.9 million prize. In January, winners in California and Wisconsin split a $632.6 million Powerball jackpot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As it did last week, the Powerball jackpot will likely rise again before Monday night\u2019s drawing. Last Sunday, the Powerball jackpot reached $610 million<\/a> and grew by another $15 million<\/a> before the next day\u2019s drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re lucky enough to win the jackpot on Halloween, you can receive your pot as an annuity (30 graduated payments over 29 years) or as a lump sum. According to Powerball, the jackpot has a cash value of $497.3 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Your odds of winning a prize overall are 1 in 24.9, while your odds at the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. There are some numbers that could increase your chances<\/a> at a Powerball prize, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Powerball<\/a> is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets are $2 per play, and drawings occur every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In September, two Illinois winners claimed the historic $1.34 billion Mega Millions jackpot<\/a> drawn in July. It was the nation\u2019s thir<\/a>d<\/a>-largest<\/a> lottery prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
