LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Powerball jackpot went to an estimated $1 billion after no winning ticket was sold for the latest drawing.
No ticket for Monday’s drawing matched the white balls 5, 8, 9, 17, 41 and red Powerball 21. The jackpot was estimated at $900 million.
The new jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing will be the third-highest in U.S. history, and it will keep growing until someone wins. Ticket-buyers have a chance at $1 billion paid out in yearly increments or a $516.8 million one-time lump sum before taxes.
Five people won $1 million after matching all five numbers, including one in Kentucky. On Tuesday afternoon, the Kentucky Lottery said the $1 million ticket was sold in Dawson Springs at the Ideal Market on Charleston Road.Â
Other $1 million winning tickets were sold in Connecticut, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania.
There were also four tickets sold in Kentucky that won $50,000. Those tickets were sold in Louisville and Lexington.Â
- Polo Club Shell, 6400 Polo Club Lane, Lexington, KY 40509
- Bonnycastle Club, 1951 Bonnycastle Ave., Louisville, KY 40205
- Circle K #3311 at 2911 Bardstown Road, Louisville, KY 40205
The Kentucky Lottery said the $50,000 winner sold the Circle K in Louisville doubled their prize to $100,000 for having the numbers twice on their ticket.Â
The odds of winning a jackpot is 1 in 292.2 million. The largest Powerball jackpot was $2.04 billion Powerball in November 2022.
The last time someone won the Powerball jackpot was April 19 for a top prize of nearly $253 million. Since then, no one has won the grand prize in the past 38 consecutive drawings.
Powerball is played in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
