powerball jackpot one billion.

The numbers have been selected for an estimated $1.1 billion Powerball jackpot, although it is not immediately clear if anyone was a big winner. The numbers drawn Monday night were 8, 23, 25, 40, 53, with the Powerball 5. No one has matched all six numbers since May 31, allowing the jackpot to swell to $1.1 billion. That is the fifth-largest prize in the game’s history. The odds of matching all six numbers are daunting: 1 in 292.2 million. As ticket sales climbed this week, game officials raised the estimated Labor Day jackpot to $1.1 billion before taxes.

Here’s something to add to your holiday weekend list: Saturday’s Powerball jackpot is estimated at $1 billion, the sixth-largest prize in the game’s history. Powerball, which costs $2 per ticket, is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The jackpot has been growing each week because no one has matched all six numbers since May. The jackpot can be spread over 30 years or a winner can choose an immediate lump sum of $453 million. Taxes kick in first.
