The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.7 billion for the upcoming Christmas Eve drawing, making it the fourth-largest prize in the game’s history.
A single winner who chooses the lump-sum cash option would take home an estimated $781.3 million before taxes. While the top prize remains unclaimed, lottery officials confirmed that a ticket worth $1 million was sold in Pennsylvania for Monday’s drawing.
The next drawing is scheduled for tomorrow at 10:59 p.m.
