From ABC News: An estimated $605 million Powerball jackpot is up for grabs, with a cash option of $273.4 million, marking what could become the fifth jackpot win of 2025 and the largest prize of the year, according to the Powerball website.
The drawing on Monday will mark the 34th attempt since the last win on May 31, when a California ticket holder claimed a $204.5 million prize. Tonight’s jackpot stands as the largest potential win since April 2024, when an Oregon resident took home $1.3 billion, according to the North Carolina Lottery.
Tickets are available in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Players can purchase their $2 tickets at various locations, including gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and select airport terminals.
Don’t hold your breath, however, as the odds of winning the grand prize currently stand at 1 in 292.2 million.
Drawings are held at 10:59 p.m. ET on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
