No winners in Halloween night

Powerball jackpot climbs to US$1.2 billion to be second-largest prize in 30-year history

After no lucky trick-or-treater scored Monday night’s billion-dollar Powerball jackpot, players will have to vie for the prize yet again on Wednesday, this time for a whopping estimated US$1.2 billion. The jackpot is the second-largest prize in Powerball’s 30-year history, according to the lottery, just behind the record US$1.586 billion win in 2016.

The winning numbers in the Halloween drawing were 13, 19, 36, 39, 59 and red Powerball 13.

While nobody snagged the grand prize in Monday’s drawing, 10 tickets won US$1 million prizes and three tickets rang in a US$2 million prize by using the lottery’s Power Play feature, Powerball said.

Lottery participants have been haunted for 38 drawings in a row with no jackpot winner, Powerball said.

The last grand prize was awarded to a ticket in Pennsylvania on August 3 for a US$206.9 million pot.

Powerball costs US$2 and is played in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
