Monday's (August 25) Powerball jackpot will be worth an estimated $750 million after zero players matched all six numbers during the $716 million drawing Saturday (August 24) night.
Monday's Powerball jackpot will be the 10th largest drawing in the game's history and 13th largest drawing in U.S. lottery history. The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are reported to be 1 in 292.2 million, according to Powerball.com.
A ticket purchased in California matched all five white numbers and the red Powerball. The Powerball had previously reset after one player won the $167 million Powerball drawing on April 26.
A ticket purchased in Kentucky matched all five white numbers and the red Powerball, resetting the next drawing to $20 million ($10.2 million cash value) for April 28. One player in California matched all six numbers to win the $2.04 billion ($997.6 million) jackpot on November 7, 2022, the largest jackpot offered in U.S. lottery history, according to the official Powerball website.
Powerball has had jackpots exceeding $1 billion five times. Mega Millions games have also exceeded $1 billion six times, which includes its largest offering, a $1.603 billion jackpot that was one by a player in Florida on August 8. Both jackpots increase during each following game until there's a jackpot winning ticket matching all six numbers drawn, which includes the additional Mega Millions Gold Ball or Powerball in each respective game.
