Powerball winning numbers drawing yields no winner; lottery jackpot at $1.2B

There were no big treats from the Halloween night Powerball drawing, as none of the tickets sold matched all six numbers.

The lack of a winner means the next drawing Wednesday night will be for a massive $1.2 billion jackpot. That comes with a cash value of $596.7 million.

The Powerball numbers drawn Monday night for the estimated $1 billion prize are 13, 19, 36, 39, 59 and the Power Ball was 13. The Power Play was 3X.

If a player does win Wednesday’s jackpot, it will be the second-largest jackpot in Powerball history.

There were 13 tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number. Two of each were sold in California, Florida, New York, Ohio and Texas and one each in Indiana, Michigan, Oklahoma.

Although the advertised top prize Wednesday will be an estimated $1.2 billion, that is for winners who receive their winnings through an annuity paid over 29 years. Winners almost always opt for cash, which for Wednesday night’s drawing will be an estimated $596 million.

The largest prize in Powerball history was $1.586 billion sold in January 2016 and shared by three winners in California, Florida and Tennessee.

The Powerball jackpot was last won with a ticket in Pennsylvania, which won a $206.9 million jackpot on Aug. 3.

The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, according to a statement from Powerball.

Powerball tickets are $2 per play. Tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Ticket sale cut-off times vary by jurisdiction, but are typically one to two hours before the scheduled drawing.

Jackpot winners may choose to receive their prize as an annuity, paid in 30 payments over 39 years, or as a lump sum payment.

Powerball holds the world record for the largest jackpot set in 2016.
