Powerball Jackpot Rises To $1.1 Billion For Monday's Drawing

There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery, pushing the estimated jackpot for Monday's drawing to $1.1 billion, the 12th-largest lottery jackpot in American history.

There were seven tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number. The ones sold in North Carolina and Pennsylvania are each worth $2 million because the players utilized the Power Play option, where for an additional $1 per play, a ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, is worth $2 million.

The one sold at a liquor store in Sacramento is worth $1,975,554. While tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in other states are worth $1 million or $2 million, California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis, meaning they are determined by sales and the number of winners.

The tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in Florida, Michigan, New Jersey and Virginia are each worth $1 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.

The numbers drawn Saturday were 1, 28, 31, 57, 58 and the Powerball number was 16. The estimated jackpot was $1.06 billion, the 13th-largest lottery jackpot in American history.

It was the 41st drawing since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.

The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 24.9.

The jackpot for Monday's drawing is the sixth-largest in the history of the Powerball game, which began in 1992. There have been six larger jackpots for the Mega Millions game, which began in 1996 as The Big Game and was given the new name Mega Millions in 2002.

The Powerball game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.
