Monday’s Powerball jackpot is set to be a tantalizing $121 million after no ticket managed to match all six numbers during Saturday night’s $112 million drawing. The numbers drawn on Saturday, September 7, were 14, 34, 37, 55, 63, with the Powerball number being 20 and the Power Play multiplier at 2x.
According to Powerball.com, the odds of clinching the grand prize stand at a daunting 1 in 292.2 million. The jackpot previously reset after a lucky winner from California scooped up $44 million on August 19. Just a week before that, another monumental win took place in Pennsylvania, where a player bagged a staggering $214 million Powerball prize on August 12. Earlier still, the prize pool had reset after a $139 million win on July 3.
One of the most historic wins in U.S. lottery history occurred on November 7, 2022, when a Californian won a jaw-dropping $2.04 billion ($997.6 million after taxes), marking the largest jackpot ever offered. Powerball has seen jackpots soar past the billion-dollar mark five times in its history. Similarly, Mega Millions games have reached and exceeded $1 billion on six occasions, including its record-holding $1.603 billion jackpot won by a player in Florida just last month on August 8.
Both Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots continue escalating until a player clinches victory by matching all six numbers, along with the respective additional balls—Mega Millions Gold Ball or Powerball—in each game.
