Eager eyes are trained, waiting for these digits to align their fate with a fortune.

While these winning numbers are backed by Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA Today Network found itself in the limelight recently. Within the company, a cancer survivor stumbled upon the grand prize of $1.3 billion and attributed his earth-shattering win to divine intervention, claiming that he ‘prayed to God’ for the victory. The lottery world buzzes with such tales of life-altering wins, as stories continue to inspire and intrigue hopeful participants.

However, the nerves grow taut as we wait to discover if the Powerball jackpot has found its rightful owner in the wake of Monday night’s drawing. As soon as the winners are announced, we’ll publish the details to satisfy the curiosity of the nation.

Entering this game of luck yourself requires a mere $2 for a Powerball ticket. Your ticket to potential wealth awaits you at your local convenience store, gas station or grocery store. The process is simple: pick six numbers in total—five numbers from white balls drawing from a pool of 1 to 69, and the final red Powerball from a smaller pool of 1 to 26.

For the ambitious, a $1 Power Play addition can be purchased to enhance the winnings of all non-jackpot prizes, a strategic move to multiply their winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or even 10X. There’s also an option for a “Quick Pick” that lets a cashier furnish you with computer-generated numbers on a printed Powerball ticket. The drawings are held thrice a week on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. If no one lays claim to the jackpot, the sum increases by millions, keeping the suspense high.

While purchasing tickets in person may add a traditional charm, a more modern and convenient way to cast your lot in the draw is by purchasing tickets online through Jackpocket, a USA TODAY Network affiliated digital lottery courier. This service lets you pick your lottery game and numbers, place an order, see your ticket, and collect your winnings all from the comfort of your phone or home computer—available in select U.S. states and territories.

Bear in mind, all forms of gambling come with risks and it’s necessary to be aware of one’s own limits. Here’s to heralding in a prosperous and thrilling week with the electrifying Powerball drawing tonight! The question remains—who will emerge as the beneficiary of the next monumental jackpot?
