The Powerball jackpot is now worth $44 million for Monday’s drawing after no one won the jackpot on Saturday.
Two Powerball players struck it big this month after having a lucky ticket that won the jackpot.
A single ticket sold in California matched all six of the numbers drawn to win the jackpot, worth $44.3 million with a $21.9 million cash value. It was only last Monday that a player from Pennsylvania won the $213.8 million jackpot, meaning the Powerball jackpot has now been claimed seven times this year.
Saturday's jackpot was worth an estimated $35 million with an estimated cash value of $17.2 million after taxes, the lottery said.
The winning numbers were drawn just after 11 p.m. ET on Saturday, and we have the results below.
