Powerball’s $1.1 B jackpot will be drawn Monday at 10:59 p.m. ET, and the event will stream live on Powerball.com.
The game’s massive prize has kept fans on the edge of their seats since the lottery’s inception in 1992, and this week’s draw marks the 43rd straight drawing without a grand‑prize winner—a new Powerball record.
The current jackpot ranks as the sixth‑largest in the game’s history.
A winner could choose a 30‑year annuity that would total roughly $1.1 B, or a lump‑sum payout estimated at $503.4 M.
Both figures are before taxes.
This is the second time this calendar year that the jackpot has hit the $1 B threshold, and only the seventh occurrence in Powerball’s history.
In early September, a $1.787 B grand prize was split between tickets sold in Missouri and Texas.
While the Saturday drawing did not produce a jackpot winner, it still yielded several significant prizes.
Five tickets—one each from California, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey and Virginia—earned $1 M for matching all five white balls.
Two additional tickets, sold in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, secured $2 M prizes for matching all five white balls plus the “Power Play” option.
Attorney Andrew Stoltmann warns that “some of the most vicious legal fights over the lottery come from office lotto pools gone wrong.”
His comment highlights the importance of understanding the rules before buying in.
Powerball is available in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Tickets cost $2 each, and players can add the “Power Play” option for an extra $1.
This option multiplies winnings by two, three, four, five or ten times, depending on the selected multiplier.
The game’s odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
Players can purchase tickets for three drawings each week—Monday, Wednesday and Saturday—providing multiple opportunities to try their luck.
The largest jackpot ever awarded was $2.04 B in 2022, when a California ticket claimed the record‑shattering prize.
That win remains the highest payout in Powerball history.
Key Takeaways
- Jackpot stands at $1.1 B, sixth‑largest since 1992.
- Record 43rd straight drawing without a winner sets a new Powerball milestone.
- Legal caution advised: office lotto pools can spark intense disputes.
As the draw approaches, fans and hopeful players alike will watch the live stream, hoping to see a new record broken and a lucky ticket holder claim the $1.1 B prize.
Until then, the suspense continues to build.
