Powerball Jackpot Climbs To $835 Million
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Powerball jackpot climbed to an estimated $835 million after no one beat the immense odds and won the giant prize.
The winning numbers drawn Monday night were: 10, 12, 22, 36, 50 and 4.
With the latest bit of lottery losing, there now have been 29 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, dating back to July 19 when a player in California won $1.08 billion.
That winless streak is due to the tough odds of winning the Powerball jackpot, at 1 in 292.2 million.
Although the game highlights the $835 million prize, that is for a winner who is paid through an annuity over 30 years.
Most winners choose the cash payout option.
For the next drawing Wednesday night, that will be an estimated $390.4 million.
