\n The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.1 billion after no ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday\u2019s drawing, according to a news release from the Multi-State Lottery Association.\n <\/p>\n
\n Monday\u2019s Labor Day jackpot will be the fifth-largest prize in the game\u2019s history, the agency noted.\n <\/p>\n
\n Saturday night\u2019s winning numbers were white balls 3, 18, 22, 27, 33, and red Powerball 17, with a Power Play multiplier of 3.\n <\/p>\n
\n The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, the association said.\n <\/p>\n
\n If a player wins Monday, they can choose between the $1.1 billion annuity or a one-time payment of nearly half a billion dollars, both before taxes.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cAmerica has waited all year for the chance to play for a billion-dollar jackpot,\u201d said Matt Strawn, Powerball Product Group Chair and Iowa Lottery CEO.\n <\/p>\n
\n In the first case, winners will be paid over 30 years, with one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year. If the winner chooses a lump sum, they will receive $498.4 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which runs the game.\n <\/p>\n
\n Monday\u2019s drawing will be the 40th since the jackpot was last won on May 31 in California.\n <\/p>\n
\n The largest Powerball jackpot on record was a $2.04 billion prize won in California on November 7, 2022.\n <\/p>\n
\n The longest Powerball run without a winner is 42 consecutive drawings, set in April 2024.\n <\/p>\n
\n Powerball tickets cost $2 and are sold in 45 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facebook Tweet Email Link The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.1 billion after no ticket matched…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":189385,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-189384","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
