There were no jackpot winners after Saturday’s Powerball drawing for the massive $615 million prize -- the 10th largest Powerball prize in history, according to its website.
The winning numbers were 7, 23, 24, 32, 43 and the Powerball was 18. Monday’s estimated jackpot now rises to $650 million, with a $328.3 million lump-sum cash value, according to Powerball. A winner would be able to choose between the annuitized prize over 30 years or to take the lump-sum payment. Both prizes are before taxes, according to lottery officials.
“The decision to raise the jackpot was the result of strong ticket sales and an increase in the interest rates used to fund the annuitized prize,” a spokesperson for the Multi-State Lottery Association, which helps run the Powerball, told CNN in an email. The last time a lottery player matched all five white balls and the red Powerball was on April 19, when a winning ticket in Ohio earned a grand prize of $252.6 million.
