Three players also won $150,000 each thanks to the Power Play multiplier.
The hit
No one matched all six numbers in Saturday’s Powerball draw, according to GamblingNews, so the jackpot rolls to $607m for Monday’s drawing. A player in Maryland matched five white numbers to win $1m, while two dozen players won tier-three prizes.
Why it matters
A rolling jackpot means the top prize keeps growing until someone matches all six numbers. A player in Minnesota previously won $2m on a Match 5 + Power Play prize, & Allwyn, which launched Powerball in the UK, has seen UK players win Match 5 prizes there, most recently $1m from the October 12 drawing.
