The Powerball jackpot soared to over $1.1 billion after no one won Saturday's drawing. This makes it the fifth-largest Powerball prize ever. Winners can choose between a 30-year annuity or a roughly $498.4 million lump sum (before taxes). The odds of winning are incredibly low – 1 in 292.2 million – but the massive prize continues to draw players. The winning numbers were 3, 18, 22, 27, 33, and the Powerball was 17. Another drawing is scheduled for Monday.
