Did anyone win the Powerball jackpot last night? See winning numbers
The Powerball jackpot keeps climbing, creeping up to a spot among the top 10 jackpots in the game's history.
The Powerball jackpot is now worth an estimated $716 million after no one matched all six numbers drawn Monday, Oct. 26, according to Powerball's website. The jackpot, which has an estimated cash value of $307.2 million, will continue to grow until someone wins the grand prize.
It's been over two months since anyone last won the Powerball jackpot. The last time someone got incredibly lucky and won big was on Aug. 12, when a ticket sold in Illinois matched all six numbers to claim an estimated $1.04 billion prize.
To be included in the top 10, the current jackpot will have to increase to over $768.4 million and beat the 10th-highest jackpot in the game's history, won on March 27, 2019, in Wisconsin.
