WASHINGTON — A staggering $1.1 billion was up for grabs in Monday night’s Powerball drawing.

This colossal jackpot has crossed the billion-dollar mark for the second time this year, following Saturday’s draw, which ended without a winner. Should a winner emerge from Monday’s drawing, they could opt for a cash payout amounting to $503.4 million.

The jackpot has been growing since September 6, when the last winners defied the daunting odds of 1 in 292.2 million.

If no ticket matches the winning numbers, the prize will continue to escalate, maintaining its position as the sixth-largest in Powerball’s history.

This year has produced three major Powerball wins: the $1.8 billion September prize, a $526.5 million jackpot claimed in California in March and a $328.5 million prize won in Oregon in January.

It’s time to check your tickets: Did you win?

The winning numbers for Monday were 59-68-63-23-35, Powerball 2. The Power Play multiplier was 4. 

The Powerball drawing takes place live at 10:59 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets cost $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
