No one picked Monday night's winning number combination of 3, 18, 36, 41, 54 and Powerball number 7. But nationwide, nine tickets won $1 million prizes on Monday.
The drawing is set for 10:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday (0359 GMT Thursday), with the odds of winning the jackpot 1 in 292.2 million.
The biggest lottery jackpot in U.S. history was the $2.04 billion Powerball game and was won in California in 2022.
Large jackpots tend to bolster ticket sales, boosting revenue for state lottery funds that support education and other public spending.
