The Megamillions and Powerball jackpots went winnerless again on Saturday night. The Powerball grand prize now sits at an estimated $900 million, and the Mega Millions at an estimated $640 million.

The winning numbers for the Powerball were 2, 9, 43, 55, and 57, and the Powerball was 18. The next drawing is on Monday and will carry an estimated cash value of $465.1 million before taxes.

For the Mega Millions, the winning numbers were 10, 24, 48, 51, and 66, and the gold Mega Ball was 15. The next Mega Millions drawing is on Tuesday evening and will carry an estimated cash value of $328 million before taxes.

The Powerball jackpot is the seventh-largest U.S. lottery jackpot ever. The first was the $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot, which one lucky person won last year, the lottery shared in a press release.

Three $1 million tickets were sold in Colorado and Texas during the Powerball drawing on Saturday night, the press release shared.

Saturday’s winnerless game now marks the 37th consecutive drawing without someone claiming the jackpot prize. The last to do so was a winning ticket in Ohio that claimed $252.6 million in April.

The Mega Millions jackpot is also on a winless streak, as its current grand prize is also the seventh-largest in the game’s history, and its last winner came in April, according to a press release.

Four tickets sold across the country won the game’s second prize, while one of them sold in South Carolina won $2 million, the lottery said.

The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot prize is 1 in 302.6 million, while the odds of winning the Powerball prize is 1 in 292 million.
