The jackpot increases to $55 million

The Powerball jackpot rose to an estimated $55 million after no one took home the big prize Saturday night, but once again remained unclaimed.

The winning number was drawn just after 11 p.m. ET on Monday. Check out the results below.

If someone had won Monday’s drawing, they would have taken home $25.7 million after taxes, according to the lottery. Instead, the jackpot rose again to a whopping $69 million.

The jackpot was last hit earlier this month when a winning ticket worth $256 million was sold in New York on December 7th. This was the ninth Powerball win this year.

Before winning in December, the Powerball jackpot was won back in October when a lucky player in Georgia won the $478 million jackpot. There were two Powerball winners in August: first, a $213.8 million jackpot in Pennsylvania, followed by a $44.3 million jackpot in California the following week.

How to play the Powerball

To purchase a $2 Powerball ticket, you’ll need to visit your local supermarket, gas station or convenience store – and in a few states you can purchase tickets online.

To play, you must select a total of six numbers to mark on your ticket. Five numbers are white balls ranging from 1 to 69. The Powerball is red and one number is between 1 and 26.

If you want to increase your chances of winning, you can add a “Power Play” for $1, which increases winnings for all non-jackpot prizes. This addition can multiply winnings 2X, 3X, 4X, 5Xor 10X.

Players can also ask a cashier for a “quick pick,” in which the cashier gives you computer-generated numbers on a printed Powerball ticket.

The drawings take place on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings. If there is no jackpot winner, the cash prize increases by millions.
