Numbers drawn for Powerball jackpot estimated at $1.1B
The numbers have been selected for an estimated $1.1 billion Powerball jackpot, although it is not immediately clear if anyone was a big winner. The numbers drawn Monday night were 8, 23, 25, 40, 53, with the Powerball 5. No one has matched all six numbers since May 31, allowing the jackpot to swell to $1.1 billion. That is the fifth-largest prize in the game’s history. The odds of matching all six numbers are daunting: 1 in 292.2 million. As ticket sales climbed this week, game officials raised the estimated Labor Day jackpot to $1.1 billion before taxes.
