Following 34 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, a Powerball player managed to match the winning numbers for the $754.6 million grand prize.

The jackpot, which marked the first Powerball lottery win of the year, saw a single winning ticket sold in Washington.

The winning numbers drawn on Monday were 5, 11, 22, 23, 69, with a red Powerball of 7. The Power Play was 2X. The cash value was $407.2 million.

The winner can choose to receive their prize through a lump sum payment or an annuity. If the annuity option is selected, the winner receives one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.

The latest lottery win was the fifth-largest jackpot in Powerball history. The jackpot was last won on Nov. 19, 2022, by a ticket in Kansas for the grand prize of $92.9 million.

Aside from the jackpot win in the Monday Powerball drawing, players across the country also picked up notable prizes. Six players became instant millionaires by hitting the Match 5.

While two ticket-holders in Michigan and three players in New York won $1 million, a player in Texas won a $2 million prize by matching five white balls with the Power Play.

Sixteen players won $100,000 by hitting the Match 4 plus the Powerball with the 2X Power Play. Additionally, 58 players won $50,000 by matching four white balls and the red Powerball.

The Powerball jackpot will now reset to $20 million with a cash option of $10.8 million. The next drawing will take place on Wednesday night.

There is a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the Powerball jackpot. Powerball drawings take place on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
