One lucky lottery player could be in for a big prize on Halloween night, as the Powerball jackpot jumped to an estimated $1 billion, with the next drawing taking place this Monday.
The jackpot is about to hit the $1 billion mark after no one matched all five numbers and the Powerball in Saturday’s drawing to claim the nearly $825 million jackpot.
It’s only the second time in Powerball’s 30-year history that the jackpot has reached $1 billion, according to the lottery.
Seven tickets matched five numbers, but not the Powerball, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. Six tickets won a $1 million prize, and one ticket sold in Florida won $2 million by including the Power Play feature.
If someone wins Monday’s jackpot, it will be the second-largest prize in Powerball history, according to a statement from the lottery. The largest jackpot was $1.586 million, which was won on January 13, 2016.
