The Powerball jackpot is estimated to climb to $800 million for Monday’s drawing, after no single ticket won Saturday’s jackpot, the lottery said.
Winning numbers for Powerball’s estimated $750 million jackpot were drawn Saturday night. The winning numbers drawn were: 6, 23, 25, 34, 51 and red Powerball 3. The power play was 2.
Saturday’s jackpot was ninth-largest in the history of the lottery game.
The last time someone won the Powerball jackpot was on Jan. 1, when a ticket in Michigan won a prize worth $842.4 million — marking the fifth-largest jackpot in the game’s history. There have been 35 consecutive drawings since then without a jackpot winner.
The jackpot in Saturday night’s drawing has an estimated cash value of $360.8 million.
If someone had won the jackpot, they could have chosen the lump sum payment or the estimated $750 million paid out in an immediate payment and then 29 annual payments.
