| Home - CBSNews.com | POWERBALL JACKPOT NEARS $1 BILLION AFTER NO ONE WON $905 MILLION GRAND PRIZE | 2 hrs ago |
A $905 million Powerball jackpot went unsold on Monday, leaving the next drawing’s prize to climb. According to Home – CBSNews.com, the Wednesday drawing will carry a minimum grand prize of $975 million.
The lottery’s jackpot grew by $70 million after no ticket matched the winning numbers in the Monday draw. Powerball officials confirmed that the prize will roll over again, adding the full ticket sales amount of the next drawing. With no winner yet, the estimated minimum payout will be $975 million for Wednesday’s draw.
Jackpot rollovers are common in multi‑state lotteries; each week the prize grows until someone wins or the drawing runs out of sales, creating larger potential payouts. A near‑billion-dollar prize could attract record ticket sales and national attention.
