Powerball Jackpot Soars to $725 Million as No Winners Emerge in Monday’s Drawing: The Powerball jackpot has soared to an estimated $725 million after no lucky individual claimed the top prize in Monday’s drawing. This places it as the seventh largest Powerball jackpot to date, as confirmed by lottery officials.
The highly anticipated next drawing will take place on Wednesday, offering participants a chance at this massive prize. Before taxes, the estimated cash value for the jackpot stands at $366.2 million, according to Powerball.
The winning numbers for Monday’s drawing were 2, 24, 34, 53, 58, and the red Powerball number was 13.
Although the grand jackpot remained unclaimed, there were still winners from the drawing. Two tickets, one sold in California and the other in Iowa, successfully matched all five white balls. The California ticket secured a $1 million prize, while the Iowa ticket’s inclusion of the Power Play feature boosted its winnings to $2 million.
Additionally, there were 28 tickets that won $50,000 prizes and 12 tickets that won $100,000 prizes, according to Powerball.
It is worth noting that there have been 35 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, intensifying the excitement and anticipation among players.
The last time a player matched all five white balls and the red Powerball was on April 19, resulting in a grand prize of $252.6 million for a lucky ticket holder in Ohio. The largest-ever Powerball prize of $2.04 billion was won in California on November 7.
As if the Powerball jackpot wasn’t enough, there is another colossal lottery prize up for grabs this week. The current Mega Millions jackpot is estimated to be $480 million, as stated on the official Mega Millions website.
