After Monday night’s $179 million drawing, when no one matched all six numbers, the Powerball prize will roll over on Wednesday, May 24.
For Wednesday night’s drawing, the prize will now be worth about $190 million ($97.6 million in cash).
The following are the results from Monday’s Powerball game:
NUMBERS: 9-38-48-52-68
POWERBALL: 25
POWER PLAY: 4x
After a player in Ohio won the $253 million drawing on April 19, the jackpot went back to $20 million. Mega Millions jackpots were won on April 18 and April 14, right before the Powerball prize.
The official Powerball website says that on November 7, a player in California matched all six numbers to win the $2.04 billion ($997.6 million) jackpot. This was the biggest jackpot in the history of U.S. lotteries.
The Powerball drawing on January 13, 2016, for $1.586 billion ($983.5 million cash value) set the previous record for the world’s biggest jackpot for both cash value and annuity.
In January 2016, three tickets from California, Florida, and Tennessee won the $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot. This was the world’s biggest jackpot (in terms of cash value and future payments) and the ninth-largest cash value per ticket. Four times, Mega Millions games have brought in more than $1 billion.
Before January 2021, the jackpots for Powerball and Mega Millions added up to more than $1.7 billion.
Both jackpots get bigger with each game that follows until a ticket is sold that matches all six numbers chosen, plus the Mega Millions Gold Ball or Powerball in each game.
