Big Powerball prize reached $1 billion after no jackpot winner

For the third time in its history, the Powerball jackpot has reached the one-billion-dollar mark. The jackpot is currently estimated at $1 billion for the next drawing on Wednesday, July 19. The jackpot has an estimated cash value of $516.8 million.
The jackpot ranks as the seventh largest U.S. lottery jackpot and third largest Powerball jackpot, only behind the world record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won last year, and the $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot won in 2016.
The Powerball jackpot rolled Monday night after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn – white balls 5, 8, 9, 17, 41 and red Powerball 21. The Power Play® multiplier was 4X.
You don’t have to wait until Wednesday to place a bet on becoming rich. The estimated jackpot for the next Mega Millions drawing on Tuesday, July 18, is $640 million, or $328.0 million cash.
