No one matched the five numbers and Powerball on Saturday night, meaning that Monday’s jackpot will be worth at least $522 million, lottery officials said.

The numbers drawn were 6-12-39-48-50 and the Powerball number was 7, according to the Powerball website.

According to Powerball officials, jackpot-winning numbers have not been selected in the past 38 drawings.

No one has won a Powerball jackpot since Oct. 4, when one player claimed $699.8 million. That was Powerball’s fifth-largest and the seventh-largest for any lottery in the United States.

Meanwhile, the largest Powerball jackpot to date is the $1.586 billion payout split by three winners in 2016, CNN reported.

Powerball is played in 44 states, according to lottery officials, with drawings held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
