Powerball Jackpot Grows to 4th Largest Ever

The Powerball jackpot has been growing since July 19.

With no one winning the top prize again on Saturday, the estimated jackpot for Monday's drawing is now $785 million.

A single winning ticket would have the option of a cash payout of $367 million, before taxes.

Even though Saturday's drawing produced 1.5 million winning tickets, including three million dollar winners, there have now been 28 consecutive drawings without a top jackpot winner.

The $785 million top prize now ranks as the fourth largest jackpot in Powerball history. The three biggest jackpots all topped one billion dollars.

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
