There were no winning tickets sold for Monday night\u0027s $905 million Powerball jackpot so the estimated grand prize for Wednesday night\u0027s drawing will be at least $975 million, Powerball says. The estimated cash value would be at least $422.3 million. Jackpots tend to grow as more and more tickets are sold.Monday\u0027s winning numbers were 6, 37, 54, 55, 64 with a Powerball of 10.The estimated cash value would come into play if the holder of a winning ticket chooses a lump-sum payout rather than 30 annuity payments spanning 29 years, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. Both options are before taxes.Wednesday\u0027s drawing will be the 44th since a Powerball pot of gold was won on May 2, when tickets purchased in Florida and Texas split a $20 million jackpot.Should Wednesday\u0027s jackpot hit $1 billion, it would be the 15th time that level was reached in U.S. lottery history and the eighth for Powerball.The largest Powerball jackpot \u2014 and\u00a0largest lottery jackpot\u00a0ever \u2014\u00a0was won with a single $2.04 billion ticket sold in California in November 2022.\u00a0 \u00a0Powerball tickets cost $2.
