The Powerball jackpot was reset to $20 million for the Monday, Sept. 8, drawing after two lucky players in Missouri and Texas took home a combined jackpot of about $1.8 billion, the second largest in U.S. lottery history, on Saturday, Sept. 6.
If a ticket matches all five numbers plus the Powerball in the 11 p.m. ET drawing, the winner can choose a one-time cash payment of $9.2 million before taxes.
