The projected jackpot for Monday’s Powerball drawing has increased to $258 million as no tickets with all six numbers were sold in the multi-state lottery’s drawing on Saturday night.
Additionally, no tickets with five numbers but without the Powerball number were sold, as per the Multi-State Lottery Association, the organisation that runs the lottery.
The Powerball number was 22, and the numbers chosen on Saturday were 3, 11, 13, 24, 39, and 3. A $243 million prize was predicted.
The last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold was during the 17th drawing.
The Multi-State Lottery Association, which oversees the game, states that there is a 1 in 292.2 million chance of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number. There is a 1 in 24.9 total chance of winning a reward.
Forty-five states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands all play the Powerball game.
