Powerball Kicks Off Holiday Season with an Estimated $740 Million Jackpot

New Scratch-Off Games in Retailers Dec. 2

JACKSON, MISS. – It’s beginning to look a lot like another exciting Powerball run as the holiday season gets underway and the jackpot surges to an estimated $740 million with an estimated cash value of $346.1 million for tonight’s drawing, Monday, Dec. 1. This ranks as the second-largest Powerball jackpot of the year, behind the $1.787 billion jackpot won on Sept. 6

Although no one hit the jackpot in the Saturday, Nov. 29 drawing, Mississippi had a standout winner when a ticket purchased in Pearl at New Five Star Food and Fuel #4 matched four out of five white balls plus the Powerball to secure a $50,000 prize. Because the player added the $1 Power Play option, the prize doubled to $100,000.
