When no one won over the weekend, the jackpot swelled to an estimated $1.9 billion leading up to Monday night. It surpassed the previous world-record grand prize of $1.586 billion in the run-up to Saturday's drawing, which had a jackpot of $1.6 billion.
The winning numbers for Saturday night's drawing were 67, 34, 46, 55, 16, and the Powerball was 14. Until Tuesday, the jackpot had eluded players since Aug. Here's a look at the winning numbers for Monday, Oct. 'At no time was the integrity of the process compromised.' 'The delay was necessary to confirm the Powerball drawing could be conducted securely and accurately,' the lottery said in a statement. The Powerball jackpot now stands at an estimated 1.2 billion for the next drawing on Wednesday night. The Minnesota lottery said its sales verification system caused the delay, CBS Minnesota reports. The Powerball® jackpot will continue its ascent through billion dollar territory, after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Monday night white balls 12, 26, 27, 43, 47 and red Powerball 5. In a statement, Powerball officials said the drawing was delayed because one lottery wasn't able to 'process its sales and play data.'
The latest numbers were supposed to be revealed Monday night but the announcement was delayed until Tuesday morning.
