The $1.73 billion prize is second only to a $2.04 billion prize won in California last November. It has been months since the jackpot was last won on July 19, when a single ticket in California won a jackpot worth $1.08 billion. The drawing produced more than 3.7 million winning tickets at lower prize levels, including a $2 million prize in Florida and four $1 million prizes in California, Indiana, Oregon and Virginia, according to Powerball. Monday’s winning numbers were 16, 34, 46, 55, 67 and Powerball 14.

If a lucky ticket holder scores the jackpot, they will have the choice between an annuitized prize worth an estimated $1.73 billion or a lump sum payment estimated at $756.6 million – both before taxes, Powerball said.

It is also the first time in Powerball’s history that consecutive jackpot cycles have reached billion-dollar prizes, Powerball announced. The Powerball jackpot has soared to a whopping estimated $1.73 billion after no big winner was drawn Monday night, marking the second largest prize in the lottery’s history.
