"The lucky numbers were white balls 8, 23, 25, 40, 53, and red Powerball 5, with a Power Play multiplier of 3. While the largest prize went unclaimed, at least two tickets sold in Montana and North Carolina won $2 million and 10 tickets across nine states garnered a $1 million prize, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which runs the game. The next chance to win big will be Wednesday,"
"If a player wins, they can choose to receive the $1.3 billion as an annuitized prize paid over 30 years, with annual payments increasing by 5%, or a one-time lump sum payment of $589 million, both before taxes. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, the association said. Powerball's largest jackpot on record remains the $2.04 billion prize won in California on November 7, 2022."

Secondary prizes included at least two $2 million winners and ten $1 million winners across multiple states. Winners can opt for a 30-year annuity with 5% annual increases or a $589 million lump sum, both before taxes. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
