The odds of winning Monday's (December 15) $1.10 billion Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, according to Powerball.com.
Additionally, the overall odds of winning any prize during the drawing are 1 in 24.9. Monday's drawing will be the sixth-largest in Powerball history and the 11th-largest in U.S. lottery history.
The Powerball jackpot increased after no one won Saturday's $1.06 billion drawing and hasn't been won since two players in Missouri and Texas matched all five white numbers and the red Powerball on September 6.
“This jackpot streak is bringing people together to dream big during this festive time of year,” said Matt Strawn, Powerball Product Group Chair and Iowa Lottery CEO. “Please play responsibly. Just one $2 Powerball® ticket gives you a chance to win this jackpot while also supporting good causes in your community.”
One player in California matched all six numbers to win the $2.04 billion ($997.6 million) jackpot on November 7, 2022, the largest jackpot offered in U.S. lottery history, according to the official Powerball website. Powerball has had jackpots exceeding $1 billion six times. Mega Millions games have also exceeded $1 billion seven times, which includes its largest offering, a $1.603 billion jackpot that was one by a player in Florida on August 8, 2023.
Both jackpots increase during each following game until there's a jackpot winning ticket matching all six numbers drawn, which includes the additional Mega Millions Gold Ball or Powerball in each respective game.
