The Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated $610 million — a $292.6 million cash value — which makes it the eighth-largest grand prize in Powerball’s 30-year history. The next drawing is Monday.
The jackpot reached the milestone after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Saturday night. Three tickets in New York, South Carolina and Texas matched five out of six numbers Saturday for a total of $1 million.
Powerball tickets are $2 per play. While overall chances of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9, the chances of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
