"Record-breaking Powerball jackpot surpasses $1 billion mark"

The Powerball jackpot has surpassed $1 billion ahead of Monday's drawing, making it the fourth-largest purse in the game's history and the second-largest this year. No ticket matched all six numbers in the previous drawing, causing the jackpot to grow. However, several tickets won smaller prizes by matching some of the numbers. The odds of winning the jackpot remain at 1 in 292.2 million. Powerball tickets cost $2 and are sold in multiple states and territories.
