The Powerball jackpot, which hasn’t been won since April, now stands at an estimated $675 million for Monday’s drawing.
On Saturday, the Powerball jackpot stood at $615 million — the ninth-largest Powerball jackpot ever and second-largest this year — as the six winning numbers 7, 23, 24, 32, 43, and 18, were called.
The following day, that number increased to anestimated $650 million— with a cash option of about $328.3 million — although it currently stands at anestimated $675 million, per Powerball’s website. The cash option as of Monday afternoon is estimated at $340.9 million.
“The Powerball® jackpot that has been growing since April has powered through its 11th straight week,” read a statement released over the weekend.

The last winner to claim the Powerball jackpot was on April 19 in Ohio, bagging a grand prize of $252.6 million.
Since then, there have since been “34 consecutive drawings without a big winner," the Powerball statement read.

“The Powerball jackpot has been won two other times this year. A player in Washington won a $754.6 million jackpot in the Feb. 6, 2023 drawing, and a player in Virginia won a $162.6 million jackpot in the March 4, 2023 drawing,” Powerball added in its statement.
The next drawing is scheduled to take place on Monday at 10:59 p.m. EST.
