Someone could get a Halloween treat of a lifetime Monday when Powerball draws for a jackpot worth $1 billion.
The jackpot broke $1 billion after no one won Saturday, game officials said.
It’s the second time that a jackpot has passed the $1 billion mark. Winners in California, Florida and Tennessee won the other one — a $1.5 billion jackpot — in 2016.
Monday’s top prize is so large because no one has matched all five numbers and a powerball since Aug. 3, almost three months ago.
The odds of winning the jackpot is 1 in 292.2 million. Those are far longer odds than the chance of being struck by lightning in the United States in any given year, which is around 1 million.
