Powerball continues nearly 4-month stretch without winner as jackpot climbs
The prize in the multistate Powerball lottery has been increasing with each drawing since May 31 because no one has hit all six numbers since then.
No one matched the five white balls and one Powerball on Monday, extending the run of draws without a winner to 34. The anticipated jackpot for Monday was $609 million. Wednesday’s jackpot will be much bigger if there is no winner, making it the largest Powerball drawing jackpot in 2025.
Cheng Charlie Saephan of Oregon got all six numbers on April 6, 2024, the final time the Powerball prize above $600 million.
Two players won $1 million by matching all five white ball numbers, despite the fact that Monday’s drawing did not produce a jackpot winner.
The Powerball for Monday’s drawing was 1, and the numbers were 15, 46, 61, 63, and 64.
There is a 1 in 292 million chance of winning the jackpot.
Additionally, Powerball offers rewards between $4 and $2 million, with a 1 in 25 chance of winning a lower jackpot.
Forty-five states and Washington, D.C. host Powerball games.
The multistate lottery has typically had six to nine winners annually since Powerball increased the probability of getting all six numbers in 2015. Since 2015, all ten of its biggest jackpots have also happened. Nov. 7, 2022, saw the winning of the $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot, the highest in history.
