Powerball jackpot nears record prize amount
- The Powerball jackpot has surged to $1.3 billion after no one won the top prize in Monday's Labor Day drawing.
- The winning numbers for Monday's draw were 8, 23, 25, 40, 53, and red Powerball 5.
- Although the jackpot was not won, 10 tickets across the US won £1 million each, and two tickets won $2 million using the Power Play option.
- The next Powerball drawing is set for Wednesday at 11 p.m. ET, marking the 41st drawing since the jackpot was last claimed on 31 May.
- This jackpot is now the fifth-largest in Powerball history, offering the winner a choice between a $1.30 billion annuity or a $589 million lump sum, both before taxes.
