Powerball jackpot continues to grow after no big winner Monday

The numbers were picked Monday night for an estimated $1.1 billion Powerball jackpot and no big winner again. No one has matched all six numbers since May 31, allowing the jackpot to swell to $1.1 billion, which would be the fifth-largest prize in the game’s history. Officials raised the estimated Monday night jackpot to $1.1 billion before taxes. Payments would be spread over 30 years, or a winner can choose an immediate lump sum. The odds of matching all six numbers are astronomical with the odds of getting struck by lightning being greater. Powerball drawings are held each week on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights.
