DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — No profitable ticket drawn Monday means the Powerball jackpot is an estimated $725 million forward of Wednesday’s drawing.

No ticket matched the Monday drawing of white balls 7, 23, 24, 32, 43 and pink Powerball 18.

The brand new jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing is the seventh-highest within the historical past of the sport. Ticket consumers have an opportunity at both $725 million paid out in yearly increments or a $366 million one-time lump sum earlier than taxes.

The sport’s abysmal odds of 1 in 292.2 million are designed to construct massive prizes that draw extra gamers. The all-time largest Powerball jackpot was $2.04 billion Powerball final November.

The final time somebody gained the Powerball jackpot was April 19 for a $253 million prize. Since then, nobody has gained the grand prize previously 35 consecutive drawings.

Powerball is performed in 45 states, in addition to Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
