According to a news release from the Multi-State Lottery Association, the Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.1 billion after no ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing.
The agency noted that Monday’s Labor Day jackpot will be the fifth-largest prize in the game’s history.
Saturday night’s winning numbers were white balls 3, 18, 22, 27, 33, and red Powerball 17, with a Power Play multiplier of 3.
The association said the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
If a player wins Monday, they can choose between the $1.1 billion annuity or a one-time payment of nearly half a billion dollars, both before taxes.
