The Powerball jackpot climbed to an estimated $1.04 billion after no players hit it big Saturday night, continuing a stretch of lottery futility lasting for more than two months.
The jackpot for the next drawing Monday night remains the world's ninth-largest lottery prize of all time.

Winners almost always take the cash option, which for Monday's drawing would be an estimated $478.2 million.The jackpot has grown so large because there have been 30 consecutive drawings without a big winner, dating back to July 19. Powerball's terrible odds of 1 in 292.
The largest jackpot was a $2.04 billion Powerball prize hit by a player in California in November 2022. In most states, a Powerball ticket costs $2 and players can select their own numbers or leave that task to a computer. Powerball is played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
