The Powerball winning amount has increased to a whopping $15 million after no one won the jackpot on Monday's drawing. The earlier reported jackpot total of $685 was incorrect.

It has been 30 drawings since the last jackpot-winning ticket was sold, which was the $1.75 billion prize that went to an unknown person who purchased their ticket in Frazier Park.

One lucky winner's ticket matching five of the six numbers was sold in Anaheim, bringing in an estimated $2,085,363. Four other tickets were also sold, matching five numbers, but each was missing the Powerball number.

The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9, but the odds of scoring the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. Powerball tickets cost $2, and drawings are held each Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
