While tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in other states are worth $1 million or $2 million, California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis, meaning they are determined by sales and the number of winners.
One ticket each with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, was sold in Georgia and Illinois and each is worth $1 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.
The numbers drawn Monday were 5, 18, 26, 47, 59 and the Powerball number was 1. The estimated jackpot was $745 million.
The drawing was the 36th since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.
The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 24.9.

There was no jackpot winner for Monday’s Powerball drawing, which means that Wednesday’s drawing, if there is a winner, would be the eighth largest jackpot in Powerball history.
This jackpot is an estimated $775 million for Wednesday night’s drawing, according to the Powerball website. The cash value is $362.5 million.
The last jackpot won was September 6, with a pair of winners in Missouri and Texas sharing a $1.787 billion jackpot.
Here are the Top 10 jackpots since the Powerball lottery began in 1992:
A Manhattan man, as well as another person in Iowa, won the Powerball jackpot, which was $688 million. He was awarded $343.8 million, which was the largest prize in the history of the New York Lottery, on Oct. 27, 2018.
There was a $256 million jackpot won in New York on Dec. 7, 2024.
After Wednesday’s drawing, the next Powerball drawing is Saturday, December 6. Powerball drawings are held three times a week – Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m.
In New York, in-store and online ticket sales are available until 10 p.m. on the night of the draw. In New Jersey the deadline is 9:45 p.m. and in Connecticut the deadline is 10 p.m.
Choose five numbers 1 to 69 and one number 1 to 26 to be your Powerball. To win the Powerball jackpot, match the six numbers on your ticket to the drawn six-number combination (five numbers plus the Powerball).
The odds of winning the jackpot prize are 1 in 292.2 million.
Powerball tickets cost $2 each. Here’s where to find the closest New York Lottery game retailers near you.
The Powerball drawing is broadcast live on the lottery website at 11 p.m. ET on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. You can watch the drawing by clicking here.
The drawing may be broadcast on a local television station in your market as well.

A single ticket sold in New Jersey matched all six numbers during the estimated $90 million Mega Millions drawing on Tuesday (December 2), according to MegaMillions.com.
The Mega Millions jackpot will reset to $50 million for Friday’s (December 5) drawing. Results from Friday’s Mega Millions game are listed below:
NUMBERS: 17-25-26-53-60
GOLD BALL: 16
The Mega Millions jackpot previously reset after a single ticket sold in Georgia matched all six numbers during the estimated $980 million Mega Millions drawing on November 14, according to MegaMillions.com. The drawing was the eighth-highest Mega Millions jackpot in the game’s history and the 14th-largest in U.S. lottery history.
Mega Millions’ largest drawing in history took place on August 8, 2023, when a player from Florida won the jackpot $1.602 billion jackpot, which was the fourth largest in U.S. lottery history. Mega Millions tickets rose from $2 to $5 prior to the April 8 drawing and officials said the increased revenue will improve a player’s odds of winning the jackpot from 1 in 303 million to 1 in 290 million, which will lead to more sales.
“People really want big jackpots,” said Joshua Johnston, the Washington state lottery director for the Mega Millions game, via the New York Post. “We expect to see a sales lift on this.”
Higher ticket prices would allow the jackpot to start at $50 million, rather than the $20 million it resets to after a jackpot hits during the last prior drawing, while the next jackpot would swell even larger if there isn’t a big winner. Additionally, the minimum prize of $10 on a winning ticket will double given the rise in cost for a ticket, according to lottery officials.
Lottery players will reportedly have a 1 in 23 chance to win any prize, an improvement from the 1 in 24 odds prior to the price change, officials confirmed to the New York Post. Mega Millions has only previously changed its price one time since its launch in 2002.

Powerball drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. If no one wins the jackpot, the cash prize will continue to tick up.
