<p>DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Powerball jackpot rose to an estimated $1.3 billion Monday night after the winning numbers failed to appear.</p>
<p>The numbers drawn were 8, 23, 25, 40, 53 with the Powerball 5.</p>
<p>No one has matched all six numbers since May 31, allowing the jackpot to swell to $1.3 billion, which would be the fifth-largest prize in the game's history if there is a winner in the drawing Wednesday night.</p>
<p>As ticket sales climbed during the past week, game officials raised the estimated Monday night jackpot to $1.1 billion before taxes.</p>
<p>Although there was no lucky jackpot winner, two ticket holders in Montana and North Carolina each won $2 million.</p>
<p>Payments for a jackpot would be spread over 30 years. A winner also can choose an immediate lump sum in cash before taxes, which now stands at $589 million.</p>
<p>The odds of matching all six numbers are astronomical: 1 in 292.2 million. The odds of getting struck by lightning are far greater. But with so many people putting down money for a chance at life-changing wealth, someone eventually wins.</p>
<p>Powerball, which costs $2 per ticket, is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are held each week on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights.</p>
