ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Another Powerball drawing has come and gone without a jackpot winner, but someone in Florida did win big.
Monday's jackpot was worth $456 million and is now estimated to jump to $478 million ahead of Wednesday's drawing, with a lump-sum payout of about $230.5 million.
One Powerball ticket holder in Florida is waking up $1 million richer. The only other Powerball winner after Monday night's drawing was someone in Texas who also won $1 million. This means they matched all five white balls but didn't get the Powerball.
Nobody has won the Powerball jackpot since August.

Even with the smaller lump sum payout, federal taxes will eat into those winnings, and some states also tax big lottery prizes. Powerball is played in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
