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.
