Powerball tops $1 billion after no jackpot winner Saturday night

The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1.04 billion ahead of Monday night's drawing.

The Powerball jackpot is expected to climb to an estimated $1.04 billion for Monday's drawing, after no ticket won the big prize on Saturday evening, the lottery said.

The estimated cash value is $478.2 Million, Powerball said.

The numbers drawn for Saturday night's $960 million jackpot were: 19, 30, 37, 44, 46 and red Powerball 22. The powerplay was 2.

A winner on Saturday would have brought home the fourth-largest Powerball jackpot ever and the ninth-largest lottery jackpot when factoring in Mega Millions top prizes.

The jackpot had an estimated cash value of $441.4 million. Winners can choose to take the money as an immediate lump sum payment or in 30 payments over 29 years.

This is the second-largest Powerball jackpot this year, after a ticket in California won the $1.08 billion jackpot on July 19. The winner has not yet come forward.

Since that drawing, there had been until Saturday 30 consecutive Powerball drawings without a grand prize winner. There have now been 31.

Powerball tickets are $2 per play. Tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

If there isn't a winner with Saturday's numbers, the next drawing takes place on Monday, Oct. 2.

Ibrahima Konate was absent from Liverpool’s draw with Man City due to injury, but Jurgen Klopp has revealed his centre-back has a “chance” to return at Man United. The Reds were again without 10 senior players on matchday, with Konate the latest to be added to the list after pulling up during Thursday’s rout at Sparta Prague.

A good chance.” That trip to Old Trafford is in a week’s time (March 17), with the FA Cup quarter-final clash following the second leg against Sparta Prauge and preceding the first international break of the season. It is positive news that Konate’s prognosis is not for an extended time on the sidelines, as the Reds, of course, are alrea...

"I think he wants to stay in Formula 1 ," Alunni Bravi told media, including TheFOXposts.Com . "He wants to come back to fight for podiums, for wins.
