There was no grand prize winner in Saturday night's Powerball drawing, which means the jackpot will grow once again.

The jackpot on Saturday was an estimated $353 million with a cash value of $256 million. Monday's jackpot will climb to an estimated $363 million with a cash payout of $265 million.

The winning lottery numbers drawn for Dec. 18 were 02-06-24-51-61. The Powerball pull was 01, and the Power Play was 2x.

There has not been a grand-prize winner since early October. A California man played a Quick Pick ticket at an Albertsons in Morro Bay in the Oct. 4 drawing to win the nearly $700 million jackpot.

A player must match the six numbers on their ticket to the drawn six-number combination to win the jackpot. Five numbers need to be selected from 1 to 69 for the white balls, and a number is selected from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball.

A Powerball ticket costs $2 per play and is played in all but five U.S. states, as well as Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
