WASHINGTON — Check your tickets — are you the next billion-dollar Powerball winner?

Lottery fever is high, sending Powerball's jackpot soaring to an estimated $1.1 billion for Monday's drawing. It's now the fifth largest jackpot in history, just north of the $1.08 billion 2023 winner. Monday's Powerball jackpot has a lump sum cash value coming in at just under half a billion dollars — $498.4 million before taxes. That's the option most winners take, as opposed to the full value paid out as an annuity.

Monday was the 40th drawing since the jackpot was last won in California on May 31, 2025.
