The jackpot for Monday’s Powerball lottery drawing will be $20 million after one ticket each with all six numbers in the latest drawing was sold in Florida and Texas.
The players have the choice between an annuitized prize of $10 million or a lump sum payment of $4.5 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.

If the player selects the annuity option, he or she will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.
Saturday’s drawing was the second in a row where two tickets with all six numbers were sold. One ticket each with all six numbers in Wednesday’s drawing was sold in Indiana and Kansas.
The numbers drawn Saturday were 25, 37, 42, 52 and 65 and the Powerball number was 14.
A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, was sold in Georgia and is worth $2 million because the player utilized the Power Play option, where for an additional $1 per play, a ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, is worth $2 million.
The Powerball game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.
