Powerball jackpot rises to estimated $685M after no winner in Christmas Day drawing

The Powerball jackpot continued to grow after no ticket matched all six numbers Monday night to claim the $638 million top prize.

The jackpot is currently at an estimated $685 million – with a one-off cash payout option of $344.7 million – ahead of Wednesday night’s draw.

The winning numbers drawn Monday night were 5, 12, 20, 24, and 29 with the red Powerball number 4.

The Power Play option is 2X.

There is a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the top prize, according to the game.

Three lucky winners in California, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania won $1 million after matching all five white numbers, the game announced Monday night.

Two other players in Colorado and Georgia won $2 million with Power Play picks.

The last time a Powerball player claimed a winning jackpot was in the Oct. 11 draw when a Californian claimed a $1.765 billion prize – the second largest jackpot ever offered by the game.

The jackpot is the fourth largest prize ever.

Powerball tickets are $2 per game and are sold in 45 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
