Saturday set a record for the longest drought in Powerball history.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
This jackpot streak is bringing people together to dream big during this festive time of year,\u201d said Matt Strawn, chair of the Powerball Product Group and CEO of the Iowa Lottery. \u201cJust one $2 Powerball ticket gives you a chance to win this jackpot while also supporting good causes in your community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Strawn encouraged the public to \u201cplay responsibly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
Powerball<\/a> is played in 45 states, plus Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.<\/span><\/p>\n
The odds of a ticket hitting the jackpot are more than 1 in 292.2 million. The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9.<\/span><\/p>\n
The jackpot rolls to an estimated $1.1 billion for Monday\u2019s drawing at 10:59 pm ET from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. The cash option is $503.4 million. At $1.1 billion, the jackpot is the sixth-largest in Powerball history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tickets Almost Hit Big<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
During Saturday\u2019s drawing, 68 tickets almost hit the Powerball jackpot. The plays matched five of the six drawn numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nSeven of the plays that nearly hit the game\u2019s top prize matched all five white balls but not the red Powerball to claim $1 million payouts. Two included the $1 optional Power Play to double their windfalls to $2 million. The two $2 million tickets were sold in North Carolina and Pennsylvania.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The odds of matching the five white balls are 1 in more than 11.68 million.<\/span><\/p>\n
Forty-nine tickets matched four white balls and the red Powerball to claim $50,000 wins. A dozen others matched four white balls and the Powerball that had the Power Play to double their payouts to $100,000.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
The odds of matching four white balls and the Powerball are 1 in more than 913,000.<\/span><\/p>\n
In total, 3,020,795 Powerball tickets won a prize last night. More than half simply hit the red Powerball to win $2.<\/span><\/p>\n
Don\u2019t Gift Kids Lottery Tickets<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
US lotteries are reminding consumers not to gift lottery tickets to kids or anyone else not old enough to play lawfully. As Casino.org <\/i>reported<\/a> earlier this month, the National Council on Problem Gambling has partnered with a record 67 lotteries to get out the word that lottery tickets make poor gifts for children.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cYoung people are increasingly exposed to gambling long before they\u2019re ready to understand the risks. Through the Gift Responsibly and Too Young to Bet campaigns, we\u2019re equipping parents and educators with information about the importance of keeping gambling out of kids\u2019 hands,\u201d said Derek Longmeier, NCPG board president.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
