The Powerball jackpot swelled to an eye‑popping $930 million after Monday’s highly anticipated drawing produced no winner, keeping the six‑largest prize in lottery history up for grabs.
The numbers drawn were 8, 32, 52, 56, 64, and 23 as the Powerball.
The cash‑option value of the new jackpot is roughly $429 million.

Monday’s jackpot of $875 million would have been the seventh‑biggest prize ever in the game, according to Powerball.
The next drawing is scheduled for Wednesday night.
The jackpot has been climbing steadily for nearly three months, with no one claiming the prize since the big win on Sept. 6.
That $1.787 billion prize was split between two winners—one in Missouri and one in Texas.
If a ticket holder beats the 1‑in‑292 million odds of matching all five numbers plus the Powerball, they can pick either the lump‑sum payment or the annuity.
Under the annuity, the winner receives one lump payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5 % each year.

Both payout options are before taxes.
The record‑setting Powerball jackpot of $2.04 billion was won in California on Nov. 7, 2022.
