After no winning tickets were drawn on Monday, the Powerball jackpot has now surged to an estimated $1 billion.
The winning numbers on Monday were: white balls 5, 8, 9, 17, 41 and red Powerball 21. The jackpot was $900 million.
The next draw is Wednesday, July 19, when the new jackpot is expected to be the third highest in U.S. history.
Potential winners can choose to have the $1 billion paid out in yearly increments or a one-time lump sum in the amount of $516.8 million before taxes.

Additional winning tickets were sold in Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, New York and Pennsylvania, where five people won $1 million.
