Once again there were no winning tickets that matched all six numbers drawn in Saturday night’s Powerball drawing.
That means the jackpot rolls over to a new record grand prize of $1.9 billion for Monday’s drawing, according to USA Today.
The cash value has risen to $929.1 million.
The Powerball prize hasn’t been won in more than three months.
The jackpot on Saturday was $1.6 billion. The numbers drawn were: 28, 45, 53, 56, 69 with the Powerball of 20. The Powerplay multiplier was 3x, according to Powerball.com.
The new jackpot tops the previous record prize of $1.586 billion that was won in 2016.
The payout has reached this level after 40 drawings in a row with no grand prize winner.
The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9, and the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
The Powerball jackpot was previously won on Aug. 3, when a Pennsylvania ticket won a $206.9 million jackpot.
In August 2021, Powerball added a third weekly drawing to help increase jackpots faster.
Powerball is played on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday in 45 states, along with Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
