The Powerball jackpot climbed to an estimated $1.55 billion after no one matched the game’s six numbers Saturday and won the giant prize.

The $1.55 billion prize is for a sole winner who is paid through an annuity, with annual checks over 30 years. Most jackpot winners opt for cash, which for the next drawing Monday night would be an estimated $679.8 million.

The odds of winning are 1 in 292 million.

Powerball is played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
