Since there have been more than three months without a winner, Lottery players will have another shot at a Powerball jackpot that has risen to $1.3 billion. Since the last time someone won Powerball's top prize on New Year's Day, forty consecutive drawings have appeared and disappeared. The 41st drawing on Saturday night would tie a record set twice in 2022 and 2021 for the most time before a winner.

Since no one matched the six numbers drawn Monday night, the Powerball jackpot soared to an estimated $1.09 billion, with the chances of winning now one in 292.2 million. The Powerball 23 was drawn, with 19, 24, 40, 42, 56, and the Powerball 23. No one has won Powerball since New Year's Day, a stretch of 39 drawings without anyone matching the game's six numbers - a three-month winless streak for the top prize. If no one wins the lottery on Wednesday night, the game will match its record of 41 consecutive drawings on Saturday night. The explanation for the jackpot shortage is straightforward.

Since purchasing the ticket at Las Palmitas Mini Market, a tiny grocery store in downtown Los Angeles, Yanira Alvarez has been selected as the lucky winner.

Instead of the $1.08 billion paid out in annual increments, the lucky lady selected the one-time lump sum of $558.1 million rather than the $1.08 billion spread in annual increments. After nobody won the main draw for 37 consecutive drawings, the next Powerball draw is set for Saturday evening, with an estimated jackpot of $935 million or a cash value of $452.3 million.
