12:15 AM - That’s it for our live coverage tonight! Thank you for joining us!

We’ll be back with updates for the next draw. Don’t forget to pick your numbers and order tickets for the $643 million Powerball draw.

12:05 AM - The jackpot has NOT been won and will roll over to the 34 draw! The new jackpot is $643 million for Wednesday’s draw.

The big winners of the night in the Match 5 category came in Arizona and Texas. These winners didn't play with the Power Play, so their winnings aren't multiplied, but the $1 million prize is still impressive.

Prize breakdown with all prize tiers and winners is available on the Powerball Results page.
