Powerball players will have another opportunity on Monday night to chase a massive jackpot that has climbed past the $1 billion mark, after yesterday’s drawing once again produced no grand prize winner.
The top prize has been growing steadily since May 31, with no one managing to match all six numbers. It now stands at $1.1 billion, making it the fifth-largest payout in Powerball’s history. The eventual winner could choose between annual installments paid out over 30 years or opt for a one-time cash option estimated at $498.4 million before taxes.
The chance of hitting all six winning numbers is incredibly slim — just 1 in 292.2 million. Statistically, being struck by lightning is more likely. Still, with millions of tickets sold, it’s only a matter of time before someone’s life changes overnight.
Last night’s winning numbers were 3, 18, 22, 27, and 33, with the Powerball number 17.
Each ticket costs $2, and Powerball is available in 45 states, as well as in Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings take place three times a week — every Monday, Wednesday, and Motzoei Shabbos.
