The winning numbers were drawn for the $638 million Powerball jackpot on Monday night.
The winning numbers are 5, 12, 20, 24, 29 and a red Powerball of 4. The Power Play is 2x.
With no jackpot winner on Monday, the jackpot will grow to an estimated $685 million for Wednesday’s drawing.
The jackpot can either be awarded over 30 years, or winners can take the one-time cash option. Most choose the latter.
The cash option for Wednesday’s upcoming drawing is an estimated $344.7 million.
The prize is also subject to federal taxes. Most states tax lottery winnings as well. However, Texas, Florida and California are among the few states do not.
The $638 million jackpot represents the largest Powerball jackpot since the $1.7 billion prize was awarded to someone in California in October of this year.
