SACRAMENTO -- Officials announced the winning numbers drawn for Monday's Powerball lottery to score a jackpot that had grown to an estimated $675 million.
The winning numbers drawn Monday were: 2, 24, 34, 53, 58, and Powerball 13. The multiplier was 2X.
Earlier Monday, California Lottery officials said a spike in ticket sales has pushed the jackpot to the new total.

There was no winner on Saturday for the then $615 million jackpot -- the 10th largest Powerball prize in history -- though one lucky Stockton resident won a seven-figure prize.
The California Lottery said someone in Stockton matched five out of the six numbers, snagging a prize worth $2.6 million.
Saturday's jackpot had a $310.6 million lump-sum cash value, according to a Powerball news release.
The winner would have been able to choose between the annuitized $615 million prize over 30 years or to take the lump-sum payment. Both prizes are before taxes, according to lottery officials.
No one has won Powerball since April 19, when a ticket in Ohio brought a prize of $252.6 million. There have been 34 straight drawings without a jackpot winner.
The game's abysmal odds of 1 in 292.2 million are designed to build big prizes that draw more players. The all-time largest Powerball jackpot was $2.04 billion Powerball last November.
The drawing will be held Monday night at 7:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time.
