Powerball jackpot climbs to $1.1 billion

OLYMPIA — If your Powerball ticket didn’t hit all six on Saturday night, or if you just forgot to buy a ticket, you’re in luck. Players will have another chance at a huge jackpot on Labor Day as the top Powerball prize rises to $1.1 billion. No tickets matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing.

“America has waited all year for the chance to play for a billion-dollar jackpot, and what better time than Labor Day for a $1.1 billion Powerball drawing!” said Matt Strawn, Powerball Product Group Chair and Iowa Lottery CEO. “With just one $2 ticket, you could win it all – all while helping to support good causes close to home.”

The lump-sum payout for Monday’s drawing is approximately $498.4 million.

If someone wins on Monday evening, it will be the 5th largest jackpot in Powerball history.
