Did anyone win Monday’s $456M Powerball jackpot?

WASHINGTON — The Powerball jackpot is nearing half-a-billion dollars, an impressive sum that still pales in comparison to the $1.36 billion winner earlier this year.

Monday’s jackpot is worth $456 million, with an estimated lump sum cash value of $219.9 million. 

Nobody has won the Powerball jackpot since August. While no one won Saturday’s grand prize, there were two different $1 million winners. One ticket in California and one ticket in Pennsylvania each matched all five white ball numbers, but missed out on the Powerball. 

The winning numbers for Monday’s drawing were 1-25-57-62-64, Powerball 15 and PowerPlay 2X.

If a winner matches all five numbers and the Powerball, they have the option to take the full jackpot paid out over 30 years, or a smaller cash payout. Winners almost always take the cash option.

Even with the smaller lump sum payout, federal taxes will eat into those winnings, and some states also tax big lottery prizes. Powerball is played in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are one in 292.2 million.

The Powerball drawing takes place live at 10:59 p.m. Eastern every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets, which cost $2 per play, are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
