Powerball:
The numbers selected Monday for the grand prize were 12-26-27-43-47 and the Powerball was 5. The multiplier was 2X.For the 32nd consecutive drawing, there was no grand prize winner on Monday night. That means Wednesday’s jackpot will be an estimated $1.2 billion -- the third-largest in the promotion’s history.
If someone wins the big prize on Wednesday, they will have two options: An annuity, in which the winner receives one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year; or the lump sum option. Choosing the second option will make the cash value amount approximately $551.7 million before taxes.
