DENVER — A ginormous jackpot is up for grabs in the next Powerball drawing on Monday – and winner of $1.9 billion could be you.
This weekend, the Powerball jackpot officially broke the record for the largest prize ever offered in a U.S. lottery — and kept growing. Saturday's jackpot soared to $1.6 billion after a strong sales boost.
However, with no big winner on Saturday, the estimated grand prize is now at $1.9 billion on Monday. Even as the grand prize nears $2 billion, the odds of winning remain the same — 1 in 292.2 million.
Here's what you need to know before the big drawing Monday night.

What are the other prizes?
Powerball lottery officials said there are nine ways to win money that range from the jackpot to just $2. Here are highlights of those odds:
