Monday's winning Powerball numbers
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars is up for grabs, and all you have to do to win it is match six numbers.
After 34 drawings with no big winner, Monday's Powerball jackpot is worth an estimated $747 million, making it the fifth-richest jackpot in the game's history.
Monday's winning numbers are 5, 11, 22, 23, and 69. The Powerball is 7 and the Power Play multiplier is 2X.
While $747 million is an intriguing option, it would be paid out over a 29-year period. Most players choose the one-time cash payment option, which is worth $403.1 million.
Monday's drawing is the highest lottery jackpot since a $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot was won by one ticket sold in Maine on Jan. 13.
Saturday's drawing failed to produce a jackpot winner, but four $1 million tickets were sold -- one each in Pennsylvania, Oregon, New Jersey, and Florida. All told, Powerball estimates $20 million in prizes were won in Saturday's drawing. No players scored on a $2 million ticket -- matching the five winning numbers and scoring with the Power Play multiplier, which increases the amount of non-jackpot prizes.
