The Powerball jackpot climbed to $538 million for Monday's Oct. 12 drawing. No one won on Saturday, Oct. 10.
- $220.6 million is the jackpot's cash value.
- $1.04 billion went to an Illinois player in the last win, Aug. 12.
- $2.040 billion remains the record, won in California in 2022.
- $2 buys one play, sold in 45 states and three other jurisdictions.
Why it matters: A jackpot rolls over and grows when no ticket matches all six numbers. This prize has rolled over since the Aug. 12 win.
- Players need not be U.S. citizens or residents to buy tickets.
- Winners living abroad can claim prizes, though taxes may apply.
