The Powerball jackpot has jumped into the New Year, swelling to an estimated $810 million after the final drawing of 2023 yielded no grand prize winners Saturday night. The big prize will be up for grabs Monday night, and if won, the lucky player will have the option to start the new year with a lump-sum payment of an estimated $408.9 million, according to Powerball. While no one nabbed the jackpot, several tickets matched the first five numbers to win big prizes. The last time the jackpot was won was on October 11, when a ticket from California scored a staggering $1.76 billion. The overall odds of winning any prize at all are 1 in 24.9, while the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
