SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – No top prize winner in the more than $500 million Powerball jackpot Monday night.
Lottery officials say the drawing for the $544 million dollar prize, however, presented two players who matched all five numbers but not the Powerball, winning a million dollars apiece. None of those were in Illinois.
The winning numbers in Monday night’s drawing were 5, 8, 19, 34, 39, and the red Powerball number of 26.
The jackpot for the next drawing Wednesday night will be $572 million, or a lump sum of more than $286 million pre-tax.
The other multi-state game, Mega Millions, has a drawing Tuesday night, with a jackpot of $41 million dollars.
