Rises Powerball jackpot to a staggering $1.1 billion following Saturday's drawing that failed to produce a victor
The Powerball jackpot has reached an astounding $1.1 billion, making it the fifth-largest prize in the game's history. The draw for this colossal sum is scheduled for Monday, November 16.
For those considering a purchase, the Powerball costs $2 per ticket. The jackpot, if won, would be spread over 30 years, providing a steady income stream. Alternatively, a winner could opt for an immediate lump sum of an estimated $498.4 million before taxes.
The odds of matching all six Powerball numbers are 1 in 292.2 million. Despite these long odds, someone eventually wins the Powerball jackpot due to the large number of people buying tickets. The likelihood of getting struck by lightning is greater than the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot.
The last time the Powerball jackpot was won was on May 31. Since then, drawings for the Powerball have taken place each week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. The most recent draw, held on Saturday, saw the numbers 3, 18, 22, 27, 33, and Powerball 17 being drawn.
The Powerball is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings for the Powerball are held every week, offering a chance for life-changing wealth to participants.
While the Powerball jackpot on Monday, November 16, was not reported as won by any individual or group, recent billion-dollar Powerball jackpots were won on different dates. For instance, in September 2025, two tickets sold in Missouri and Texas split a jackpot of 1.787 billion dollars. An earlier jackpot, worth 2.04 billion dollars, was won in California in November 2022.
As the anticipation builds, millions of Americans are expected to buy Powerball tickets in the hope of becoming the next big winner. Will it be you? The Powerball draw is just a few days away. Don't miss your chance to change your life forever!
