The quest for the Powerball jackpot continues as no players matched all six numbers in Monday’s $1.03 billion drawing, pushing the prize to an estimated $1.09 billion for Wednesday, April 3.
The drawing’s numbers were 19-24-40-42-56 with Powerball 23 and a Power Play of 2x. This increase comes after the jackpot had been reset from a previous win in Grand Blanc, Michigan, on January 1, where a player snagged $842.2 million.
The Powerball’s history of grand jackpots includes the largest ever in U.S. lottery history, with a player in California winning $2.04 billion on November 7. Powerball jackpots have surpassed the $1 billion mark four times, highlighting the slim odds of winning – 1 in 292.2 million.
