There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery, pushing the estimated jackpot for Monday’s drawing to $1.55 billion, the fifth-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history.
The numbers drawn Saturday night were 47, 54, 57, 60, 65 and the Powerball number was 19. The estimated jackpot was $1.4 billion, also the fifth-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history.
Saturday’s drawing was the 32nd since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold. The last time someone won the grand prize was July 19, when a ticket with all six numbers worth $1.08 billion was sold at a downtown Los Angeles mini-market.
There were 12 tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, including one at a market in San Francisco, which is worth $1,311,695, according to the California Lottery.
It would have been worth $1 million if it had been sold in a different state, but California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis, which can be both less and more than $1 million.
The tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in Iowa and Maine are each worth $2 million, because the players 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.
There were two tickets each with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in Massachusetts and Texas and one each in Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. Each is worth $1 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.
Both Saturday and Monday’s jackpots are the third-largest in the history of the Powerball game which began in 1992. There have been two Mega Millions drawings with larger jackpots.
The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 24.9.
The Powerball game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.
