The jackpot for Monday’s Powerball drawing rose to $285 million after no one won the big prize on Saturday. If someone matches all six numbers in Monday's drawing, they can choose a one-time cash payment of $125.

Edwin Castro won the Powerball lottery in early 2023. He bought homes in Malibu, Altadena and the Hollywood hills. All three were threatened by simultaneous fires, and one burned.

The jackpot was last won on Dec. 7 when a New York lottery player won a $256 million Powerball jackpot. Meanwhile, the Mega Millions jackpot is at $95 million with a cash option of $41.6 million, according to the Mega Millions website.
