None of the tickets sold for Monday's drawing matched all six numbers. Next chance is Wednesday.
There were no big treats from the Halloween night Powerball drawing, as none of the tickets sold matched all six numbers.
The lack of a winner means the next drawing Wednesday night will be for a massive $1.2 billion jackpot.The increased jackpot will be the fourth-largest in U.S. history. The biggest prize was a $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot won by three ticketholders in 2016. Massive lottery jackpots have become more common in recent years as lottery officials have adjusted game rules and ticket prices to pump up the top prizes. The most recent tweak came in August, when Powerball officials added an additional drawing day — going from two a week to three — to build larger prizes and boost sales.Although the advertised top prize Wednesday will be an estimated $1.2 billion, that is for winners who receive their winnings through an annuity paid over 29 years.
Powerball is played in 45 states, including Pennsylvania, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
