Powerball reward increases to an anticipated $725 million following Monday's lack of jackpot winners.
Following Monday's Powerball drawing, there were no jackpot winners, and the top reward increased to an estimated $725 million, making it the seventh-largest Powerball jackpot ever.
The big reward, which according to Powerball has an estimated lump-sum cash value of $366.2 million before taxes, will be drawn again on Wednesday.
The winning numbers on Monday were 2, 24, 34, 53, 58, as well as the red Powerball 13.
After the drawing, however, there were still winners. Two tickets, one purchased in California and the other in Iowa, both had all five white balls match. The California ticket won $1 million, and the Iowa ticket, which had the Power Play feature, won $2 million.
According to Powerball, 28 tickets won prizes of $50,000, while 12 tickets won prizes of $100,000.
