Powerball jackpot climbs to $1.5 billion after no one hits jackpot

Powerball offered an eye-popping $1.4 billion jackpot for Saturday night's drawing, but the massive prize will be growing even larger after no one correctly matched all six numbers. The winning numbers were 47-54-57-60-65 with Powerball 19 and Power Play 3.

Monday's jackpot will be an estimated $1.55 billion, which remains the third-largest prize in the Powerball's history. It'll also be the fourth-largest jackpot in any U.S. lottery game after rolling over for 34 consecutive drawings, since the last time someone won the top prize on July 19. That streak trails the record of 41 draws set in 2021 and 2022.

A jackpot winner Monday would get either the full $1.55 billion paid out over 30 years, or a cash payout of $679.8 million. Winners almost always take the cash option.

It's also the first time in the game's history that back-to-back cycles have generated billion-dollar prizes, according to Powerball. #WakeUpCLT #Lottery #Powerball
