Powerball jackpot grows to $905M for Monday's drawing
PERSONAL FINANCE Powerball jackpot grows to $905M for Monday's drawing Watch Powerball drawings streamed on ABC 7 New York on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m.
Although there was no jackpot winner, four tickets matched all five white balls and won $1 million each. One of those winning tickets was sold in New York.
Monday's jackpot is currently estimated at $905 million. The jackpot has an estimated cash value of $391.1 million for a lucky winner who chooses a lump-sum payment instead of the annuity option.
It is the largest Powerball jackpot since a $1.817 billion prize won in Arkansas on Christmas Eve 2025, which remains the second-largest jackpot ever won in the game.
The Powerball jackpot was last won on May 2, 2026, by two tickets in Florida and Texas that split a $20 million jackpot.
The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are a minuscule 1 in 292.2 million. Those odds will be the same for U.S. and U.K. players, lottery officials say.
U.S. lottery officials say the expanded player base will allow Powerball jackpots to grow more quickly, likely increasing sales as more people are drawn to larger grand prizes.
Powerball is played in 45 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
In the game, players choose five white-ball numbers from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball number from 1 to 26. Drawings will continue to be held Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
You can watch the New York state lottery drawings live daily at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. and Wednesdays and Saturdays at 8:15 p.m. on ABC 7 New York.
Powerball drawings are also streamed here on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m.
Mega Millions drawings are streamed on Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 p.m.
The New York Lottery continues to be North America's largest and most profitable Lottery, contributing $3.7 billion in Lottery Aid to Education for FY2022-2023 to help support education in New York State.
New York Lottery revenue is distributed to local school districts by the same statutory formula used to distribute other state aid to education. It takes into account both a school district's size and its income level; larger, lower-income school districts receive proportionately larger shares of lottery school funding.
