Powerball winning results for Monday night revealed: Did anyone win the $875 million jackpot on December 8? – Here’s what winner could take home

The Powerball jackpot reached an estimated $875 million before the draw on December 8, increasing the expectation across the country. Monday night’s drawing caused great excitement, but officials have yet to confirm whether the grand prize has been claimed. If no ticket matches all six numbers, the jackpot will continue to increase rapidly.

Players are urged to check their tickets as secondary prizes ranging from thousands to millions are at stake. Winners can choose to receive the entire $875 million annuity paid over 30 years, with a 5% annual increase, or a lump sum payment of $403.6 million after taxes, according to Powerball.com.

With odds of 1 in 292.2 million, jackpots increase rapidly when there is no winner. The latest big prize came on Sept. 6, when winners in Missouri and Texas split a $1.787 billion jackpot, the second-largest jackpot in U.S. history.
