The Powerball jackpot has jumped to an eye-popping $1.7 billion after yet another drawing passed without a big winner.
The numbers drawn Monday night were 3, 18, 36, 41, 54 and the Powerball 7.
There have been 46 straight drawings without a big winner since early September.
The next drawing will be Christmas Eve on Wednesday.
The prize is expected to be the 4th-largest in U.S. lottery history. Powerball tickets cost $2.
The game is offered in 45 states plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
