Powerball Jackpot Climbs To Near $1 BillionFifth-Largest Powerball Drawing For Monday |
|
Following a $1.3 billion Mega Millions jackpot in January, Powerball is now growing to epic heights.
The Powerball jackpot was an estimated $747 million ($403.1 million cash value) for the Monday, Feb. 6 drawing. If a player wins Monday’s jackpot, it will rank as the fifth-largest Powerball jackpot and the ninth-largest U.S. lottery jackpot.
The Powerball jackpot rolled after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Saturday night – white balls 2, 8, 15, 19, 58 and Powerball 10.
Top-winning tickets in the Saturday night drawing include four tickets that matched all five white balls to win $1 million. The $1 million-winning tickets were sold in Florida, New Jersey, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.
Nationwide, the drawing produced 64 winning tickets worth $50,000 and 17 winning tickets worth $100,000. Altogether, more than 2 million tickets won cash prizes totaling $20 million in Saturday’s drawing. The Powerball jackpot was last hit on Nov. 19, 2022, by a single ticket in Kansas that won a grand prize worth $92.9 million. This Monday’s drawing will be the 34th drawing in the jackpot run.
Powerball holds the world record for the largest national lottery jackpot at $2.04 billion. Powerball celebrated its 30th anniversary last year. More than half of all proceeds from the sale of a Powerball ticket remain in the jurisdiction where the ticket was sold.
Powerball tickets are $2 per play. Tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Powerball drawings are broadcast live every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. EST from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee.
