Just last week, a single ticket sold in California matched all six numbers drawn to claim the impressive $44.3 million jackpot. That win came just a week after a player from Pennsylvania scooped the $213.8 million jackpot. According to lottery officials, the Powerball jackpot has been won seven times this year.

Monday’s jackpot has an estimated cash value of $21.9 million after taxes.

For participants in the Monday, August 26th drawing, the winning Powerball numbers were 2, 4, 23, 68 and 69, with a Powerball of 15. The Power Play multiplier for this drawing was 3X.

To play Powerball, you must purchase a $2 ticket at your local supermarket, gas station or grocery store. In certain states, tickets are available online. Players choose a total of six numbers: five white balls between 1 and 69 and one red Powerball number between 1 and 26. For an additional dollar, players can opt for a “Power Play,” which multiplies the winnings of all non-jackpot prizes by two to ten times.

Those who prefer to choose quickly can select a “Quick Pick” at the ticket counters, where the numbers are generated by a computer on a printed Powerball ticket. Drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings. If there is no jackpot winner, the prize increases by millions in the next drawing.

Tickets can be purchased in person at gas stations, supermarkets, grocery stores and some airport terminals.
