Powerball drawing did not produce any jackpot winners, leading to a further increase in the prize amount. The jackpot has now reached an estimated $1 billion, with a cash option of $516.8 million. The next drawing is scheduled for Wednesday. The estimated jackpot for Monday's Powerball drawing was $922 million, making it the third-largest Powerball jackpot and the seventh-largest in the history of U.S. lotteries. Now, after no winners bagged the Powerball jackpot prize on Monday, the jackpot for Wednesday night's Powerball drawing is set to become the third-largest in Powerball history and the seventh-highest in the history of U.S. lotteries. This remarkable jackpot prize of $1 billion follows the world record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won last year and the $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot won in 2016. The Powerball jackpot has remained unclaimed since April, spanning across 38 drawings. Although the odds of winning are as low as 1 in 292,201,338, Monday night's drawing did produce over 2.8 million winning tickets. These ticket holders collectively received smaller cash prizes totaling $41.7 million, as reported by Powerball officials. Had someone won the jackpot on Monday night, they would have had the choice between receiving the $922 million prize in annual installments or opting for a significantly lower lump sum cash payment, both figures being pre-tax amounts, according to Powerball regulations.

According to MSF, nine countries in East Europe and Central Asia with high burden of drug-resistant TB are excluded from this deal. “While the included list of countries has yet to be made public, we have learned that the nine countries in the Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) region, which have some of the world’s highest burden of drug-resistant TB, are excluded from this deal,” Perrin said. “The full terms of the agreement still need to be made public,” he said. Perrin said Johnson & Johnson (J&J) should announce it will not enforce any secondary patents on bedaquiline in any country with a high burden of TB, and withdraw and abandon all pending secondary patent applications for this lifesaving drug.
