American lottery players competed Monday for the fourth-biggest jackpot in U.S. history, as the Powerball drawing had a top prize of $1.55 billion.
Powerball expanded to three nights a week in 2021, adding a Monday drawing to its Wednesday and Saturday games. Powerball said that the extra drawing would lead to “larger, faster-growing jackpots.”

If Monday’s game is not won, Wednesday’s drawing would be the second-biggest in U.S. history, though it would have to roll over a couple more times before topping a $2.04 billion Powerball prize won in California last November.
