By The Powerball jackpot continues to grow as no one claimed the top prize in Monday night’s drawing. With the current total at $835 million, this jackpot is now among the top 10 highest in U.S. lottery history.
Next Drawing and Jackpot Payout
The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Wednesday night. If a single winner claims the jackpot, they would receive a cash payout of $390.4 million (instead of an annuitized prize).
Monday Night’s Winning Numbers
The winning numbers for Monday night’s drawing were as follows:
- White Balls: 10, 12, 22, 36, 50
- Red Powerball: 4
Previous Record-Breaking Jackpots
In recent years, there has been a surge in super-large lottery prizes. Last November, the Powerball jackpot reached an incredible $2.04 billion, which was ultimately claimed by one individual, Edwin Castro, who purchased the winning ticket in California. This amount stands as the largest prize in both Powerball and U.S. lottery history.
Powerball Availability and Online Options
Powerball tickets are available for purchase in 45 states across the United States, as well as in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition to traditional in-person sales, online and app-based lottery sellers have also entered the market to provide convenient alternatives.
Billion-Dollar Jackpots on the Rise
This year alone has already witnessed three lottery jackpots reaching the billion-dollar mark, with the largest being a staggering $1.58 billion in the Mega Millions drawing held in August.
Stay tuned for Wednesday night’s drawing and the chance to win the massive $835 million Powerball jackpot!
