Everyone will be buying tickets at their local gas station soon, as the prize for the Powerball jackpot is jumping to an estimated $650 million after Saturday’s drawing went winnerless once again.
The winning numbers on Saturday were 7, 23, 24, 32, 43, and the Powerball was 18.
Powerball shared in a news release that the cash option for Monday’s drawing will be an estimated $328.3 million. The winnings would rank it as “the ninth largest Powerball jackpot on record.” It would also be the second largest this year.
While the jackpot winning ticket wasn’t sold on Saturday, three $1 million winning tickets were, as players in California, Illinois, and Colorado matched five numbers, the release shared.
So far this year, Powerball has had three jackpot winners, most recently an Ohio ticket that won $252.6 million in April. Other winners included a Washington player who won over $754.6 million in February and a Virginia player who won $162.6 million in March.
For those looking to play, Powerball tickets sell for $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The next drawing is Monday at 10:59 p.m. EST from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. To watch, visit Powerball’s website here.
