Powerball jackpot rises to estimated $572 million after no winner in Dec. 18 drawing

The Powerball jackpot continues to rise after no ticket matched all six numbers Monday night to claim the $544 million grand prize.

The jackpot is now estimated at $572 million, with a one-time cash option of $286.7 million, ahead of Wednesday night’s drawing.

The winning numbers drawn Monday night were 5, 8, 19, 34 and 39 with a red Powerball number of 26.

The Power Play option was 3X. According to the game, the chance of winning the grand prize is 1 in 292.2 million.

Two lucky winners, one in North Carolina and the other in New York, won $1 million after matching all five white numbers, the game announced Monday night.

The last time a Powerball player claimed the jackpot was in the Oct. 11 drawing, when a Californian took home the $1.765 million prize, the second-largest jackpot ever offered by the game.
