The Powerball jackpot ahead of Monday night’s drawing was an estimated $1 billion, only the second time in the game’s history that the main prize has hit that milestone.
There was no winner that matched all six numbers after Monday’s drawing, and now the estimated jackpot for Wednesday is $1.2 billion, with a cash value of $596.7 million, Powerball said.
The winning numbers in Monday night’s estimated $1 billion jackpot were 19, 13, 39, 59 and 36, and the Powerball was 13. The powerplay number was 3.
While there was no jackpot winner — though more than 5.4 million tickets totaling $59.5 million in cash prizes won on Halloween — Powerball said in a press release, including 10 tickets that matched all five white balls for a $1 million prize.
