The Powerball jackpot just jumped into the top 5 in the game’s history as it checks in at $785 million for Monday’s drawing.

A winner tonight could claim the prize as a $785 million annuity or $367 million in cash.

Monday’s $785 million jackpot stands at No. 4 on the list of largest Powerball jackpots in history. Powerball has gone 28 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner.

Check out these numbers on how Powerball affects North Carolinians:

  • 48,436: The total number of winning tickets in Saturday’s drawing
  • $14.7 million: The estimated amount raised for education on the current Powerball run

Players can buy Powerball tickets at any lottery retail location or through Online Play on the lottery’s website or the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

IT DOES MAKE ANY SENSE THESE SMALL PAY OUT THE POWDERBALL AND MEGA M GIVING OUT,AND I DON"T SEE WHY THE WINNER HAD TO GIVE BACK OVER HALF OF THE MONEY,IF THEY WON THE JACKPOT IT SHOULD BE THEIR.NC Lottery
Hi, Rose! Thanks for the opportunity to share more info on this! The difference between the annuity and the lump sum is not a penalty--winners are given the choice between the jackpot amount paid out over 30 years, or the cash value amount up front. The difference between the lump sum and the annuity would be earned on interest and used to pay out the prize over the course of those 30 years. It is always up to the player to choose which one to go with. Hope this helps clear things up!
