Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $905 Million After 3 Months Without a Winner

Summary
$905 million is now at stake for Monday’s Powerball drawing after Saturday’s estimated $856 million jackpot went unclaimed.
No one has won the grand prize since May 2, when two tickets in Florida and Texas split $20 million, extending the rollover streak past three months.
One Texas ticket matched five white balls plus Power Play for $2 million, while tickets in Arizona, Florida, Michigan and New York each won $1 million.
Powerball said growing player interest during rollovers has accelerated jackpot growth, with UK ticket sales added last month through a new expansion.
The prize ranks among the game’s biggest ever, though the odds of hitting the jackpot remain about 1 in 292.2 million.
