The Powerball jackpot soared to a staggering $740 million after Saturday night’s highly anticipated drawing produced no lucky winner, leaving the third-largest prize of the year up for grabs.
The winning numbers drawn were 19, 22, 30, 23, 59, and 1 as the Powerball.
The next drawing is on Monday night.
The winner can either choose to receive the jackpot in annual payments over 30 years — and pocket some $24 million per year before taxes — or take the cash up front.
The one-time cash payout would be an estimated $346.1 million before taxes.
The lump sum is less than the advertised jackpot because the advertised amount is the total annuitized payout after 30 annual payments.
