The California Powerball has reached an estimated $1 billion after Sunday night’s drawing did not produce any winners.
This is the second time in the Lottery game’s 30-year history that the jackpot has reached an estimated $1 billion, according to Powerball. The world record Powerball prize was set at $1.586 billion.
The jackpot rolled after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Saturday night – white balls 19, 31, 40, 46, 57, and red Powerball 23.
Jackpot winners may receive their prize as an annuity, paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or a lump sum payment. If a player chooses to cash out the prize, they would receive $497.3 million.
Powerball holds the world record for largest jackpot set in 2016. The record $1.586 billion jackpot was shared by winners in California, Florida and Tennessee.
