Mass. State Lottery: Another chance to win historic $875M Powerball jackpot is Monday
The Powerball jackpot for the Monday drawing has grown to an estimated $875 million, making it the seventh-largest jackpot in the history of the game, lottery officials announced.
The cash option on this prize is an estimated $403.6 million, according to the Massachusetts State Lottery . Monday's Powerball drawing will be the 40th since the jackpot last hit Sept. 6, when tickets sold in Missouri and Texas split a $1.787 billion jackpot.
The winning numbers Saturday were: 13, 14, 26, 28 and 44 with the Power Ball of 7. According to the Powerball website , no one hit the jackpot in Saturday's drawing, however, someone in New Jersey matched five numbers and picked the Power Play, they just didn't get the Power Ball, to win $2 million. Three tickets matched five numbers to win $1 million each in Florida, Georgia and Texas.
Powerball tickets cost $2 and can be purchased until 9:50 p.m. on Monday. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. in Tallahassee, Florida.
The Megabucks jackpot will also be drawn on Monday for an estimated $8.25 million ($5.68 million cash option).
Lottery officials said "this is the game's largest jackpot since the game was redesigned in 2023 to bring more value to players including better odds of winning, higher average jackpots, bigger payouts for all non-jackpot prizes" and an "additional third weekly drawing."
Originally, the Megabucks's largest jackpot under the new game matrix was $6.13 million which was hit on Jan. 27 on a ticket purchased in Rockland.
Megabucks tickets are $2 and can only be purchased in Massachusetts, the statement reads. Tickets for Monday's drawing can be held until 9 p.m. Megabucks drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m.
