Powerball Jackpot Soars to $1.1 Billion for Labor Day Drawing
The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.1 billion for the upcoming Labor Day drawing, marking it as the fifth-largest prize in the game’s history. This monumental sum follows Saturday’s drawing, where no ticket successfully matched all six numbers, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.
Saturday night’s winning numbers were white balls 3, 18, 22, 27, 33, and red Powerball 17, with a Power Play multiplier of 3. Hopeful players now turn their attention to Monday’s drawing, set to take place on Labor Day.
Should a player win, they face the choice between the $1.1 billion annuity, paid over 30 years with an immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year, or a one-time cash option of $498.4 million before taxes. The odds of claiming this life-changing prize remain 1 in 292.2 million.
Powerball tickets are priced at $2 and are available in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This drawing marks the 40th since the jackpot was last hit on May 31 in California, fueling widespread anticipation for the holiday drawing.
