The Powerball jackpot continues to rise with an estimated $461 million jackpot.

If someone matches all six balls in Wednesday night's drawing, the winner would take home the grand prize, which currently has a cash option of $223.5 million.

Monday's winning numbers were 1, 26, 32, 46 and 51 and the red Powerball was 13. The Power Play was 3X.

Powerball drawings are held each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. EST. Drawings can be viewed live at powerball.com/watch-drawing.

The Powerball jackpot was last hit in the July 19, 2023 drawing, when a ticket in California matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to win a grand prize worth $1.08 billion. Since then, there have been 20 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, according to lottery officials.

How to play Powerball

Choose five numbers 1 to 69 and one number 1 to 26 to be your Powerball. To win the Powerball jackpot, match the six numbers on your ticket to the drawn six-number combination (five numbers plus the Powerball).

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