The Powerball jackpot prize reached the $1 billion mark on Wednesday, the third time in 30 years.

After there was no winner on Wednesday, the Powerball prize increased to an estimated $1.5 billion.

In January 2016, a $1.586 billion Powerball Jackpot was sold, making it the highest in Powerball history.

The Powerball prize rises to an estimated $1.2 billion after the Powerball Numbers today jackpot drawing produced no winner. No one matched all six numbers in Monday's drawing, therefore the prize has grown, according to ABC News.

The numbers 2, 11, 22, 35, and 60, plus the Powerball 23, were good for a Wednesday night jackpot of about $1.2 billion. Two was the magic number for a power play.

Although there was no jackpot winner on Monday, Powerball said that more than 5.4 million tickets won a total of $59.5 million in cash prizes on Halloween. Ten of those tickets matched all five white balls for a $1 million reward.

This is the third time in the game's 30-year history that the jackpot has reached $1 billion, which happened on Wednesday.
