On Monday, the Powerball jackpot soared into nine-figure territory after no ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing. The estimated prize now stands at a staggering $103 million, which translates to a cash value of $48.6 million after taxes.
Although the grand prize went unclaimed, a lucky player from New Jersey took home $1 million. The previous jackpot winner, a player from Georgia, hit an impressive $478 million last month.
The chances of winning the Powerball jackpot are notably slim, with odds at one in 292,201,338. Players have a one in 11,688,053.52 chance of winning the $1 million prize, while the probability of clinching any prize stands at one in 24.87.
The winning numbers for Monday, November 11, 2024, were revealed shortly after 11 p.m. ET. The numbers drawn were 3, 21, 24, 34, 46, with the Powerball number being 9 and a Powerplay multiplier of 3X.
For those eager to try their luck, purchasing a $2 Powerball ticket is straightforward. Tickets are available at local convenience stores, gas stations, or grocery stores, with select states offering online purchase options. Players pick a total of six numbers: five white balls from 1 to 69, and one red Powerball from 1 to 26.
To potentially boost winnings, players can add a “Power Play” for an extra dollar, increasing non-jackpot prizes by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or even 10X. A “Quick Pick” option is also available, allowing a cashier to generate random numbers for the player.
Drawings occur three times a week—on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. If no one claims the jackpot, the prize money will increase with each drawing.
Tickets can be purchased in various physical locations such as gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores. Some airport terminals also sell lottery tickets. Additionally, the Jackpocket app offers an online alternative for residents of specific states and territories, including Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Texas, Washington D.C., and West Virginia.
The Jackpocket app simplifies the entire process: select your lottery game and numbers, place your order, view your ticket, and even collect your winnings—all from your phone or computer.
