Millions of lottery players around the country will try their luck again on Monday night to win an estimated $650 million Powerball jackpot—the ninth largest prize in the game's history.
The Powerball jackpot rolled over on Saturday night after no ticket matched all six of the numbers drawn: white numbers 7, 23, 24, 32, 43 and red Powerball 18.
The prize has been growing since April and is currently the second largest up for grabs so far this year. It has a cash option of an estimated $328.3 million. The jackpot was last hit in the April 19 draw, when a ticket in Ohio matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to win a prize worth $252.6 million.

How to Play Powerball
Powerball tickets are $2 per play, with players selecting five numbers from 1 to 69, in addition to one red Powerball number from 1 to 26. In certain circumstances, players can also multiply non-jackpot prizes by using the Power Play option for an additional $1.
Tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Jackpot winners may choose to receive their prize as an annuity, paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or a lump sum payment. Both prize options are before taxes. If the winner selects the annuity option, they will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5 percent each year.
