The Powerball jackpot has soared to $815 million after there were no |
|
big winners in Monday’s drawing, marking the 7th largest prize in the |
|
game’s history. |
|
|
|
Monday’s winning numbers – 16, 19, 34, 37, 64 with a red Powerball |
|
of 22 and a Power Play multiplier of 3 – did net two $1 million |
|
winners in Georgia and Texas, the said. |
|
|
|
Wednesday’s drawing will be the 38th since the jackpot was last won |
|
in May. |
|
|
|
Should there be a winner on Wednesday, they will have the choice |
|
between an annuitized $815 million prize or a lump-sum payment |
|
estimated at $367.9 million before taxes, according to the Multi-State |
|
Lottery Association, the game’s operator. If the winner chooses the |
|
annuity option, they will receive one immediate payment plus 29 annual |
|
payments with 5% increases each year. |
|
|
|
There have been Powerball jackpots over $1 billion, including the |
|
largest lottery jackpot for the game in US history of $2.04 billion. It |
|
was in Altadena, California, on November 7, 2022. |
|
|
|
The Powerball lottery has generated more than $36 billion for good |
|
causes supported by US lotteries over more than three decades. |
