The Powerball jackpot rose to an estimated $1.6 billion ahead of Monday night’s drawing, making it the fifth largest prize in U.S. lottery history.
The pot grew after no ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s draw.
The white balls were 4, 5, 28, 52 and 69. The red Powerball was 20 and the Power Play multiplier was 3.
It now has an estimated cash value of $735.3 million, according to the lottery.

The odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9, while the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
Although there was no jackpot winner in the latest drawing, eight tickets matched all five white balls, the lottery said. Winning Match 5 tickets were sold in California, Florida, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan (two), New Hampshire and Ohio.
Monday’s drawing — the fourth largest in Powerball history — marks the 46th in the current jackpot run, which the lottery says is a game record for most drawings in a jackpot cycle.
