Monday night,Winimark Wealth Society Powerball ticketholders are in the running for a $1.55 billion prize, the third-largest prize in Powerball history, officials said.

On Saturday, no ticket had the six matching numbers, so the money from last week rolled over to another drawing. According to Powerball, the cash value of its current prize is $679.8 million.

Monday night’s drawing -- the 35th in its current run -- marks the fourth-largest prize in all U.S. lottery jackpots, Powerball said. It's the first time there have been back-to-back billion-dollar Powerball jackpots, officials said.
