Powerball jackpot at $740 million ahead of Monday drawing

After no winners over the weekend, the Powerball jackpot is set for $740 million ahead of its drawing on Monday night.

With an estimated cash value of $346.1 million, the jackpot has not been won since Sept. 6, when two winning tickets sold in Missouri and in Texas split a $1.787 billion prize.

However, two Massachusetts lottery players each won $50,000 during the Powerball drawing on Saturday.

One of the winning tickets was sold at Seven 86 Market, located at 249 Blue Hill Ave. in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. The other was sold at Sav Mor Liquors, located at 48 Broadway in Malden.

The next Powerball drawing will be held at 10:59 p.m. on Monday. Tickets cost $2 each and can be purchased at Massachusetts State Lottery retailers across the state until 9:50 p.m. on Monday.

Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
