Big picture view:

Nobody won the big prize in Monday’s drawing, but two winners in Arizona and Texas matched all five numbers – which is a $1 million prize. 

What's next:

The next drawing is on Wednesday, Aug. 20, with an estimated jackpot of $643 million before taxes, which could rapidly grow into one of the largest jackpots in history if a winner doesn’t emerge in the next drawing or two.
