(NewsNation) — The Powerball jackpot has climbed again, reaching an estimated $1.4 billion after nobody picked the winning numbers in Monday's drawing.
The latest drawing will mark the sixth time the Powerball jackpot has surpassed $1 billion, and the 13th time a jackpot, either Powerball or Mega Millions, has surpassed $1 billion.
As for the prize, the cash value is estimated to be just a shade more than $634 million after the federal government takes its cut right off the top of the winnings.
Speaking of Powerball jackpot winnings, how much the very lucky winner brings home can depend on the state they play in. Winners have the option to receive their prize as an annuity, which is allocated in 30 graduated payments for nearly 30 years, or in a one-time payment.
