The Powerball jackpot just surged to a massive $740 million for the Monday, December 1 drawing — all because nobody snagged the top prize on Saturday, December 29. Yep, the pot keeps climbing!
This comes only weeks after a lucky Georgia player hit a nearly $1 billion Mega Millions jackpot on December 14. That winning ticket, sold in Newnan, matched all six numbers and scored an unbelievable $983 million payout.
Want to play Powerball?
It’s pretty simple:
-

Powerball drawings happen every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday night. Match all five white balls plus the red Powerball and you’re in line for the jackpot. If someone hits every number in the December 1 drawing, they can choose a one-time cash payout of $346.1 million before taxes.
