The Powerball jackpot has skyrocketed to an astonishing $1.1 billion after no ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing. This massive prize remains up for grabs, enticing players across the nation.
The winning numbers for the December 13 drawing were 1, 28, 31, 57, 58, with the Powerball number being 16. Unfortunately, no one claimed the top prize this time.
While the jackpot went unclaimed, several players still enjoyed significant wins. Notably, there were $2 million Power Play winners in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, along with $1 million winners in states like California, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, and Virginia.
The estimated cash value for the upcoming drawing on Monday now exceeds $503 million, making it an enticing opportunity for hopeful players.

For those who do win, more common payouts, such as $100 for matching four white balls or three plus the Powerball, come with slightly better odds, ranging from 1 in 36,525 to 1 in 14,494, respectively.
Overall, the odds of winning any Powerball prize are 1 in 24.87, making it a game of chance that continues to captivate millions.

According to Powerball’s official website, jackpot winners have the option to receive their prize as an annuity, which is paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or as a lump-sum payment. If the prize continues to grow, it could soon rank among the largest jackpots in Powerball history. The current record for the largest jackpot was a staggering $2.04 billion win in 2022, followed by a $1.79 billion jackpot claimed in Missouri and Texas in September.
