The Powerball jackpot for Monday night’s draw hit six figures after no one won the grand prize Saturday, creating a potentially massive Christmas surprise for a lucky player.
The prize was an estimated $103 million with a $47 million cash option, but it increased after the jackpot went unclaimed again. The Powerball numbers were drawn shortly after 11 p.m. ET and USA TODAY has the results below.
While no one took home the jackpot Saturday, tickets in Indiana and New Jersey matched the five numbers and the Power Play to win $2 million, and a ticket sold in Illinois matched the five numbers to win $1 million.
After Monday’s drawing, the jackpot went up to an estimated $117 million, with a cash value of $53.4 million.
The last jackpot winner came earlier this month when a ticket sold in New York matched the five numbers and the Powerball to win $256 million.
