The Powerball jackpot continued its climb over the holiday weekend, reaching an estimated $1.1 billion, the game’s fifth-largest prize, organizers said.
No one drew all six winning numbers Saturday. The winning numbers were white balls 3, 18, 22, 27 and 33 and red Powerball 17, according to a Powerball news release.
Nine tickets across the U.S. matched all five white balls, four of which were sold in California. Those locations included two in Southern California — a 7-Eleven in Duarte and Ontario Liquor in Ontario — as well as a 7-Eleven in Milpitas and a Mobil station in Pleasant Hill.
Each of those winners will receive $1,165,399, the lottery says. In California, prize payouts are “pari-mutuel,” with the amount changing depending on how many tickets are sold for that draw and how many winners are at the same level.
If a player wins Monday’s jackpot, they would have a choice between periodic payments totaling an estimated $1.1 billion or a lump sum estimated at $498.4 million, the Powerball bulletin said.
A winner who selects the annuity option would receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase 5% each year.
Both prize options are calculated before taxes.
No one has won the jackpot since May 31, when a single ticket sold in California took the $204.5 million prize.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, according to organizers.
