Since no winning tickets were sold for Monday night's $750 million grand prize, which was Powerball's tenth highest ever when it was up for grabs, Wednesday night's jackpot is expected to be $815 million, the seventh largest in the game's history.
With a Powerball of 22, the winning numbers that were chosen on Monday night were 16, 19, 34, 37, and 64.
According to Powerball, the estimated cash value of Wednesday's jackpot is $367.9 million.
As the drawing draws near, the jackpot can increase as more tickets are purchased.
An individual who wins a single jackpot can choose to receive a payout in the form of an annuity, which consists of 29 yearly installments that increase by 5% annually, or a lump sum payment of the cash value amount (before taxes).
Since May 31, when a single ticket in California won a $204.5 million jackpot with a cash value of $91.6 million, there hasn't been a Powerball jackpot winner.
The greatest prize in Powerball and lottery history, $2.04 billion, was won by a single ticket sold in Altadena, California, in 2022. 1992 saw the inaugural Powerball drawing.
According to Powerball, the odds of winning the top jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 11 p.m. ET, drawings are held, and in the event that no grand prize winner is found, the jackpot grows.
Tickets for the Powerball lottery cost $2 and are available in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
