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 $426 million.

A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, was sold in Georgia, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game. It is worth $1 million because the player did not utilize 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 numbers drawn Saturday were 6, 18, 34, 35, 36 and the Powerball number was 2. The estimated jackpot was $410 million.

The drawing was the 27th since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.

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.
