The Powerball jackpot remains elusive, as no ticket matched all six numbers in Monday’s drawing. That means the grand prize inched closer to the billion-dollar mark, with an estimated $930 million up for grabs on Wednesday.

According to lottery officials, the numbers drawn for an estimated $880 million prize were 8, 32, 52, 56 and 64; the red Powerball was 23. The PowerPlay multiplier was 2X.

The next drawing is at 10:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday for a grand prize that remains the seventh largest in Powerball history. The cash option is $429 million.

Monday’s drawing marked the 40th consecutive time without a grand prize winner since Sept. 6, when two tickets shared a $1.787 billion prize. That jackpot snapped a Powerball record 42 drawings without a winner.

The largest jackpot in Powerball history is $2.04 billion, won by a single ticket in California on Nov. 7, 2022.

If someone should win on Wednesday, they have two options: An annuity, in which the winner receives one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year, or the lump sum option. Choosing the second option will make the cash value amount approximately $429 million before applicable federal and state taxes, according to lottery officials.

The odds of hitting the big jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338.

One ticketholder in Florida matched all five white balls and will claim a $1 million prize.

Powerball tickets cost $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. States that do not participate are Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah.
