Powerball jackpot eludes all players, next drawing worth $672M
The string of no winners continued when the Powerball winning numbers rolled down the chute Monday evening.
The winning numbers were 2-21-26-40-42 and a Powerball of 9. Nobody won the jackpot. One ticket sold in Massachusetts matched all five regular numbers to win $1 million.
The top prize was worth $638 million with a cash payout of $304.2 million.
The Wednesday drawing will be worth an estimated $672 million, $320 million for all cash.
Powerball is played in 45 states, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot — no matter the size — are near 1 in 292.2 million. Chances of taking home Mega Millions’ top prize are even lower, at about 1 in 302.6 million.
