Powerball Monday drawing yields $114 million jackpot

The winning numbers in Monday evening's Powerball drawing were 03-29-42-46-59, Powerball: 15, with a Power Play of 3, according to ABC News. The prize for this drawing is estimated at $114 million.

Powerball is a nationwide, multi-state lottery offered in 45 jurisdictions. Draws take place three times weekly, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, giving players multiple chances to win across participating states and territories.

The Powerball game is designed so players select five numbers from 1 through 69 and a Powerball from 1 through 26. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, a figure that reflects the large number of possible combinations. In this drawing, the Power Play option was 3x, meaning non-jackpot prizes would be multiplied by three, if won on this ticket format.

For those who match only some of the numbers, smaller prizes are awarded depending on the number of correct matches and whether the Powerball is matched. The presence of a multiplier like 3x can significantly increase the value of these smaller prizes for tickets that feature the Power Play option.

If no ticket matches all six numbers, the jackpot rolls over to future drawings, potentially increasing the prize pool for subsequent weeks. This rollover mechanism is a staple of Powerball and similar multi-state lotteries, contributing to rising jackpots over time.
