Powerball jackpot rises to $1 billion without Saturday winner
There have been 37 drawings in a row without a winner.
The Powerball jackpot has risen to an estimated $1 billion after no jackpot-winning tickets were sold for Saturday night's drawing.
The estimated prize for Monday's drawing marks only the second time in the lottery's 30-year history that the jackpot has risen to $1 billion, according to Powerball. The cash value is estimated at $497.3 million.
The Powerball numbers drawn Saturday night for the estimated $825 million prize were 40, 19, 57, 31, 46 and the Powerball was 23. The powerplay was 3.
Players were given a chance to win the second-largest prize in the game's history. Saturday's prize had a cash value of $410.2 million.
Six tickets won $1 million prizes in Saturday's drawing, Powerball said. California and Michigan both had two winning tickets, while Maryland and Texas had one apiece, the lottery said.
There were 36 drawings in a row without a grand prize winner ahead of Saturday's drawing. If a player had won on Saturday's jackpot, it would have been the sixth time the Powerball jackpot had been hit this year.

Jackpot winners may choose to receive their prize as an annuity, paid in 30 payments over 39 years, or as a lump sum payment.
