Powerball grows to $643 million jackpot after no one wins Monday
The Powerball jackpot has grown to $643 million -- with a cash payout of $290.6 million -- after no one won Monday night's drawing. A total that was already the highest of the year has now crept higher.
The next drawing will take place Wednesday night.
Though there was no big winner, the numbers on Monday were: 15, 46, 61, 63, 64 and red Powerball 1. Two people -- one in Arizona and one in Texas -- won $1 million prizes.
The drawing on Monday marked the 34th attempt since the last win on May 31, when a California ticket holder claimed a $204.5 million prize. Wednesday night's jackpot stands as the largest potential win since April 2024, when an Oregon resident took home $1.3 billion, according to the lottery.
Tickets are available in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Players can purchase their $2 tickets at various locations, including gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores and select airport terminals.
Despite the enticing jackpot, the odds remain daunting at 1 in 292.2 million for the top prize, though overall chances of winning any tier prize are better at 1 in 24.9. Players select five numbers from 1-69 for white balls and one number from 1-26 for the red Powerball, with random number options available.
The game offers eight additional prize tiers ranging from $4 to $1 million. Players can enhance non-jackpot winnings through "Powerplay" for an extra dollar, multiplying prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times. The 10X multiplier is only available for jackpots under $150 million, and the "Match 5" second-tier prize is capped at $2 million with Powerplay.
Some jurisdictions also offer "Double Play," a $1 add-on feature providing a second chance to match numbers after each drawing.
Powerball drawings are conducted at 10:59 p.m. ET on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, with live streaming available at Powerball.com.
