- Powerball jackpot climbs to $975 million after no big winners in Monday’s drawing
The Powerball jackpot has risen to an estimated $975 million after nobody won the grand prize in Monday's drawing. While no one matched all five white balls and the red Powerball, some players still won sizable prizes, including a $2 million win in Tennessee. For the next drawing on Wednesday, matching all numbers allows for a choice between an annuitized prize of $929 million or a lump sum payment of $402.4 million.
- Lottery jackpots continue to grow as no winners claim their prizes
Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots are rising to $630 million and $800 million, respectively, due to no winners in recent draws. The Powerball expansion to the UK, effective via an agreement between the Multi-State Lottery Association and Allwyn UK, allows UK players to contribute to the Powerball jackpot with $2 tickets.
- UK players joining Powerball could drive US jackpots even higher
Powerball ticket sales in the UK will begin Tuesday, allowing U.K. players to participate in the same U.S. lottery with identical odds of 1 in 292.2 million. The expansion, facilitated by an agreement between the Multi-State Lottery Association and Allwyn UK, is expected to accelerate jackpot growth by increasing the player base. U.K. tickets will contribute only to the Powerball jackpot, with different lower-tier prize structures and payment terms compared to the U.S.

The first UK-eligible drawing is scheduled for July 22.
