The winning numbers for an $800 million Powerball jackpot have been drawn - and a bigger Mega Millions prize is up Tuesday

Lottery players have two opportunities to potentially strike it rich this week as the Powerball jackpot climbs to a colossal $800 million for Monday night’s drawing and Tuesday’s Mega Millions jackpot tops $1 billion.

The winning numbers for Monday’s estimated $800 million Powerball jackpot – which would be one of the largest prizes in the lottery’s history – have been drawn. The numbers are 7, 11, 19, 53 and 68 with a red Powerball of 23. This was the first of two opportunities lottery players have to potentially strike it rich this week as Tuesday’s Mega Millions jackpot tops $1 billion. If the Powerball prize is won it would be the sixth-largest in the game’s history. A winner would have the option of receiving an estimated $800 million in annual payments or a lump sum payment of $384.8 million – both before taxes, according to Powerball. The Powerball jackpot was last won on January 1 by a ticket in Michigan with an estimated $842.4 million prize. There have been 35 consecutive Powerball drawings with no grand prize winner. The odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24.9, but the odds of snagging the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, according to the lottery.
