The Powerball jackpot climbed to $1.1 billion ahead of Monday’s drawing — just 10 days before Christmas — a prize that would rank as the sixth-largest in the game’s history and the 12th-largest in U.S. lotto history; the advertised annual prize is $1.1 billion with a pre-tax lump sum of $503.4 million. There has been no jackpot winner since Sept. 6, leading to 42 consecutive drawings without a top prize, and the U.S. has seen 13 jackpots over $1 billion (10 since 2021); the largest ever was the $2.04 billion ticket in 2022. Saturday’s numbers produced no jackpot winner but did generate two $2 million winners and five $1 million winners, while the odds of winning the jackpot remain 1 in 292.2 million.
The Powerball jackpot rose to an advertised $1.1 billion ahead of Monday’s drawing — ten days before Christmas — with a pre-tax lump-sum option of $503.4 million and a drawing scheduled just before 11 p.m. ET. This prize would rank as the sixth-largest in Powerball history and the 12th-largest in U.S. lotto history, while the largest ever was the $2.04 billion ticket in November 2022. There has been no jackpot winner since Sept. 6, creating a 42-drawing run without a top prize and contributing to a tally of 13 U.S. jackpots above $1 billion (10 of those since 2021). Saturday’s draw produced no jackpot winner but yielded two $2 million winners and five $1 million winners, underscoring continued prize-tier liquidity despite the rollover. The statistical odds remain extreme at 1 in 292.2 million, and all advertised amounts are before taxes, which materially reduces net payoffs relative to headline figures. From a market perspective the article signals strong media attention and retail consumer interest around the holiday but, per the supplied market-impact indicator, any macro or equity-market effect is likely negligible and transitory.
