- Winning numbers: 11-18-23-38-60, Powerball 9, Power Play 2
- Estimated $398M jackpot ranks among 2024’s largest prizes
- Power Play multiplier doubles non-jackpot winnings
- No grand prize winner – jackpot rolls to $425M
The latest Powerball drawing has set the stage for a staggering $425 million rollover after Monday night’s results failed to produce a jackpot winner. Players across 45 states eagerly checked tickets bearing the combination 11-18-23-38-60 with Powerball number 9. The Power Play multiplier landed on 2X, offering secondary prize winners doubled payouts.
Lottery analysts note this jackpot marks the seventh-largest in Powerball history, fueled by 34 consecutive drawings without a top prize winner. The current prize structure reflects a 5% increase from last month’s $379 million payout, demonstrating the game’s accelerating jackpot growth. Industry reports indicate ticket sales surge by approximately 300% when jackpots exceed $350 million.
Three critical insights emerge from recent lottery trends: First, 72% of jackpot winners choose lump-sum payments over annuity options. Second, states without income tax like Texas and Florida see 22% higher per-capita ticket purchases. Third, Power Play participation increases by 40% during rollover streaks as players chase enhanced secondary prizes.
A regional analysis highlights Ohio’s remarkable luck streak, with three Powerball millionaires crowned in the past 18 months. The Buckeye State’s 2023 lottery revenue surged to $4.1 billion, funding educational initiatives statewide. This pattern follows national data showing Midwestern states claim 34% of all Powerball millionaire tickets.
Officials remind players that winners have 60-180 days to claim prizes depending on state regulations. Financial advisors recommend immediately signing winning tickets and consulting tax professionals, as federal withholdings claim 24% of prizes over $5,000. With Wednesday’s anticipated drawing approaching, retailers prepare for increased foot traffic as the jackpot climbs toward half-billion territory.
