Powerball Jackpot Hits Staggering $1.3 Billion After No Winner Monday; Next Drawing Wednesday
The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.3 billion after Monday night’s drawing failed to produce a grand prize winner. With no ticket matching all six numbers since May 31, the colossal prize now stands as the fifth-largest in the game’s history.
The winning numbers drawn on Monday, September 1, were 8, 23, 25, 40, 53, with the Powerball being 5. Hopeful players now look to Wednesday night, September 3, for the next opportunity to claim the life-changing sum.
While the jackpot remains elusive, two lucky ticket holders in Montana and North Carolina each secured a $2 million prize in the latest drawing. The $1.3 billion prize offers a cash option of $589 million before taxes, though the odds of matching all six numbers are a daunting 1 in 292.2 million.
Powerball tickets, costing $2 each, are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are held weekly on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights.
