The jackpot rolled again this week after there were no winners for Monday night's draw, which stood at an estimated $650 million.

Although no one received the massive prize in full on Monday, the Powerball drawing yielded more than 1.5 million tickets that won smaller prizes, collectively amounting to roughly $14 million, according to the lottery.

Two tickets sold in California and Iowa, respectively, matched all five white balls and reaped significant earnings, lottery officials said in a . The California ticket-holder won a $1 million prize, while the Iowa ticket-holder won $2 million — because they had purchased the ticket with the game's Power Play feature for an extra dollar, which doubles the prize. Another 28 tickets won prizes worth $50,000 during the most recent drawing, and 12 tickets won $10,000 each.

There have been 35 consecutive Powerball drawings without a jackpot winner, since it was last hit in the lottery's April 19 drawing earlier this year. A ticket purchased in Ohio matched all six numbers drawn that night and took home the jackpot worth $252.6 million. Odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in approximately 292,200,000, according to Powerball. More broadly, the odds of winning any Powerball prize are slightly less than 1 in 25. A Powerball ticket costs $2 and can be purchased in 45 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with more than half of proceeds from each ticket sale going back to the jurisdiction where it was sold, the lottery says.

Powerball drawings are broadcast live from the Florida Lottery studio on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays beginning at 10:59 p.m. ET. The drawings are available to stream live on
