The Powerball winner update for Monday, December 1, confirms that no ticket matched all six numbers for the $740 million jackpot. The winning numbers were 5, 18, 26, 47, 59, and the Powerball was 1. Officials reported three Match 5 winners from California, Georgia, and Illinois.
The drawing took place at 10:59 p.m. ET. The jackpot now rises to an estimated $775 million for the next draw on Wednesday, December 3. The cash value for the upcoming drawing is listed at $362.5 million.
Lottery officials confirmed the results shortly after the December 1 drawing. The Power Play multiplier was 3X. No player matched all numbers to claim the top prize. Three players matched the first five numbers, earning $1 million each. No Match 5 plus Power Play winner was reported.
According to data released by Powerball officials and covered by trusted outlets including the Associated Press and CNN, the odds of hitting the jackpot remain 1 in 292.2 million. These odds stay the same for every draw. The estimated $775 million prize now ranks among the largest current jackpots of the year.
Powerball continues to draw interest across the country. Tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Players can buy tickets at local retailers or through authorized digital purchase options depending on the state. All sales close one to two hours before drawing time.
The Powerball winner update also confirms that the December 1 results followed all standard drawing procedures. The process included secure ball sets, certified officials, and independent auditors overseeing the draw. These steps are part of routine verification protocols used by U.S. lotteries.
The increase to $775 million is expected to attract heavier participation heading into the midweek drawing. Large jackpots usually prompt more ticket sales nationwide. This can increase overall prize tiers even if no jackpot winner emerges.
The Powerball winner update indicates continued rollover momentum. Big rollovers often occur when several consecutive drawings pass without a jackpot match. Historical trends show more ticket purchases during rollover periods, which may also increase lower-tier winners.
A larger jackpot sparks renewed public attention as well. Media outlets across the country have been providing frequent updates as the total grows. The Wednesday, December 3 drawing is projected to be one of the most-watched events of the week for lottery followers.
