Powerball Jackpot Surges to $663 Million Following Monday Drawing Without Grand Prize Winner

The Powerball drawing held Monday night yielded no jackpot winner, propelling the prize pool to $663 million for the upcoming Wednesday drawing. Meanwhile, Mega Millions offers an even larger $800 million jackpot for Tuesday's event. The dual surge reflects sustained player interest as neither major U.S. lottery has produced a grand prize winner in recent drawings.

Monday's Powerball Results

The Monday drawing produced winning numbers of 6, 26, 46, 58, and 65, with a Powerball of 25 and a 2X Power Play multiplier. No ticket matched all six numbers to claim the estimated $638 million grand prize. Additionally, no tickets matched all five white balls for either the $1 million prize or the $2 million Power Play equivalent.

Lesser-prize winners did emerge: fourteen tickets matched four white balls and the Powerball for $50,000 payouts, while three Power Play tickets secured $100,000 each. The cash value of the new $663 million jackpot stands at approximately $290.4 million before taxes. Powerball drawings occur three times weekly—Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time, with tickets priced at $2. The odds of winning the jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million.

Mega Millions Reaches Historic Levels

Concurrent with Powerball's climb, Mega Millions has reached $800 million for Tuesday's drawing, with a cash option valued at $344.2 million. This prize ranks as the 10th-largest in Mega Millions history. The drawing will be held at 11 p.m. Eastern Time. Mega Millions has remained unclaimed since March 17, when an Ohio ticket won $60 million. More than 500,000 tickets won prizes in the previous Mega Millions drawing on Friday, totaling nearly $10.1 million across the nation, including thirteen tickets matching four white balls and the Mega Ball. Mega Millions tickets cost $5, with odds of winning the jackpot at approximately 1 in 290.5 million.
