Powerball jackpot surges to $421 million

The money keeps stacking up for the Powerball jackpot!

Powerball players live to see another drawing as the jackpot surges to $421 million after there were no winners on Monday night.

But there are a few newly minted millionaires waking up today.

Three lucky players from Florida, Illinois, and Minnesota purchased $1 million winning tickets.

A fourth winner from Iowa will claim $2 million after hitting big on the power play.

Monday night’s Powerball numbers were: 3, 6, 11, 17, and 22. The Powerball was 11.

The next Powerball drawing will be 11 pm ET Wednesday evening.

Lottery players’ also have another chance to win tonight with the $445 million Mega Millions drawing at 11 pm ET.

As both jackpots climb, the lotto craze is creeping back into everyone’s mind.

In July, a $1.337 billion Mega Millions jackpot had Americans racing to buy tickets for the third-largest prize in Mega Millions history.

Last month, those winners came forward to claim their prize after weeks of America enviously waiting to know who won the life-changing money.

Under Illinois lottery rules, winners do not have to reveal their identity to the public.

The winners had a whole year to claim the prize but only 60 days — or until Sept. 27 — for their choice of getting the $780.5 million lump sum.
