Monday's Powerball drawing came and went without a winner for the estimated $65 million jackpot, although the lottery organization did report that there was one winning ticket worth $1 million sold in California.
With no grand prize winner on Monday, the next drawing will be Nov. 6. Wednesday's prize will be an estimated $75 million, with an estimated value of $35.4 million after taxes.
The eighth Powerball jackpot winner of the year was found last month when a person in Georgia won $478 million in the game. The largest win of the year occurred in April when Oregon man who survived cancer won the $1.3 billion prize.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are long. Players have a one in 292,201,338 shot at winning the grand prize, a one in 11,688,053.52 shot at winning the $1 million prize and a one in 24.87 chance of winning any prize.
How to play the Powerball
In order to purchase a $2 Powerball ticket, you'll have to visit your local convenience store, gas station or grocery store − and in a handful of states, you can purchase tickets online.
To play, you will need to pick six numbers in total to mark on your ticket. Five numbers will be white balls ranging from numbers 1 to 69. The Powerball is red and one number which is between 1 and 26.
If you want to increase your chances of winning, you can add a “Power Play” for $1 which increases the winnings for all non-jackpot prizes. This addition can multiply winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
Players can also ask a cashier for a "Quick Pick" where a cashier will give you computer generated numbers on a printed Powerball ticket.
Drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. If there's no jackpot winner, the cash prize will increase by millions.
