A lottery player could be in for a real treat on Halloween night. The Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated $1 billion, with an estimated $497.3 million cash value, for the next drawing on Monday, Oct. 31. This is the second time in Powerball’s 30-year history that the advertised jackpot has reached $1 billion.
If a player wins Monday’s jackpot, it will be the second largest jackpot in Powerball history, only behind the world record $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot, and fifth largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.
