The Powerball jackpot rose to an estimated $55 million after no one took home the big prize Saturday night, but was left unclaimed yet again.

The winning number was drawn shortly after 11 p.m. ET on Monday. View the results below.

If someone had won Monday's drawing, they would have taken home $25.7 million after taxes, according to the lottery. Instead, the jackpot rose once again to a whopping $69 million.

The jackpot was most recently won earlier this month, when a winning $256 million ticket was sold in New York on Dec. 7, marking the ninth time the Powerball was won this year.

Before December's win, the Powerball jackpot was previously won in October, when a lucky player in Georgia won the $478 million jackpot. August saw two Powerball winners: first, a $213.8 million jackpot in Pennsylvania followed by a $44.3 million jackpot in California the following week.

How to play the Powerball

In order to purchase a $2 Powerball ticket, you'll have to visit your local convenience store, gas station or grocery store − and in a handful of states, you can purchase tickets online.

To play, you will need to pick six numbers in total to mark on your ticket. Five numbers will be white balls ranging from numbers 1 to 69. The Powerball is red and one number which is between 1 and 26.

If you want to increase your chances of winning, you can add a “Power Play” for $1 which increases the winnings for all non-jackpot prizes. This addition can multiply winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.

Players can also ask a cashier for a "Quick Pick" where a cashier will give you computer generated numbers on a printed Powerball ticket.

Drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. If there's no jackpot winner, the cash prize will increase by millions.
