(NEW YORK) — The Powerball jackpot has risen to an estimated $810 million after there was no winner in Saturday night’s drawing, Powerball said.
The estimated cash value for the next drawing, on Monday, Jan. 1, is $408.9 million, according to the lottery.
The winning numbers drawn for Saturday’s $760 million jackpot were: 10, 11, 26, 27, 34 and red Powerball 7. The power play was 4.
The estimated cash value of the prize had been $383.6 million. If a player had won the jackpot in Saturday night’s drawing, they will be offered the choice between annual payments worth $760 million — starting with one immediate payments and remaining payments over 29 years increasing by 5% each year — or a lump sum payment estimated at $383.6 million.
Saturday’s drawing marked the last one of 2023.
There have been 34 consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner. The last Powerball jackpot was won on Oct. 11.
