Monday night’s Powerball jackpot has soared to an estimated $975 million after there was no grand prize winner in Saturday’s drawing. Saturday’s winning numbers were: 12, 13, 33, 50, 52 with a Powerball of 23. The estimated $975 million Powerball jackpot in play Monday jumped from $935 million after no tickets matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing. A jackpot winner in Monday’s drawing can choose to receive the money in annuitized payments or take a lump sum estimated at $471.7 million. While the jackpot wasn’t won in the drawing on Saturday, four tickets won $1 million each by matching the first five numbers. Those tickets were sold in Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan and Pennsylvania, according to the Powerball website. Powerball’s grand prize was last won in January, when a ticket in Michigan scored a $842.4 million jackpot. Since then, 38 consecutive drawings have taken place without a jackpot winner, according to Powerball.

It was almost an extraordinary scene in front of the White House. As Tesla shares have been tanking since the year began, President Donald Trump held remarks outside of the White House with the company’s CEO and Department of Government Efficiency Head Elon Musk – all in front of a line of shiny Tesla vehicles.
