The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.1 billion after no ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing. The next chance to win comes on Labor Day, Sept. 1, with a cash option of $498.4 million — the fifth-largest prize in the game’s history.
Saturday’s winning numbers were 3, 18, 22, 27, 33 and the red Powerball 17, with a Power Play multiplier of 3. While no one claimed the jackpot, nine players matched all five white balls to win $1 million, and three doubled their prize to $2 million by adding the Power Play option. Hundreds of others won smaller prizes ranging from $50,000 to $150,000.
The jackpot has been rolling since May 31, when a California ticket hit for $141 million. If won Monday, the winner can choose between annual payments that grow by 5% or a lump sum before taxes.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
