The winning numbers for Monday’s estimated $900 million Powerball jackpot have been drawn, making it the third largest jackpot prize in the game’s history. The numbers are 17, 8, 9, 41, 5, and red Powerball 21. If a player wins the jackpot on Monday night, they will have the choice between an annuitized prize worth an estimated $900 million or a lump sum payment estimated at $465.1 million, both before taxes.
The jackpot rolled over after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn on Saturday night, which were white balls 2, 9, 43, 55, 57 and red Powerball 18. This marks the 37th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner since April 19, when a ticket in Ohio won a grand prize worth $252.6 million.
Monday’s grand prize ranks as the third largest Powerball jackpot and the seventh largest US lottery jackpot, according to Powerball. The largest-ever Powerball prize of $2.04 billion was won in California on November 7.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, as stated on Powerball’s website. While no one scored the grand prize on Saturday, three tickets sold in Colorado and Texas matched all five white balls to each win $1 million prizes.
In addition to the Powerball, the Mega Millions jackpot has also grown to an estimated $640 million after there were no winners on Friday. The next Mega Millions drawing will take place on Tuesday at 11 pm ET.
