That $754.6 million jackpot was the fifth-largest in Powerball history and the ninth-largest lottery won in U.S. history. It was also the first Powerball jackpot won in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The final winning jackpot the previous year was won in Kansas on November 19, 2022, for a $93 million drawing. The previous winner before that was in California on November 7, 2022 for a $2.04 billion grand prize. It was the largest lottery jackpot in history.<\/p>\n<p>The last grand prize winner prior to the Nov. 7 drawing was on 08\/03\/22 for a $202 million jackpot. That ticket was sold in Pennsylvania. The previous winner before that was 06\/29\/22 for a ticket sold in Vermont. The previous winner before that was 04\/27\/22 for a $473 million jackpot with one lone ticket that was sold in Arizona. The last grand prize ticket before that was sold on 02\/14\/22 for a $183 million jackpot. That ticket was purchased in Connecticut.<\/p>\n<p>The previous grand prize ticket before that was won on 01\/05\/22 for a $630 million jackpot. There were two winning tickets\u2014one each in California and Wisconsin\u2014that split the prize.<\/p>\n<p>The previous Powerball grand prize winner before that was on Saturday 06\/05\/21 for a $286 million jackpot. That ticket was sold in Jacksonville, Florida, at a Circle K convenience store. The previous Powerball grand-prize winner was 03\/27\/21 for a drawing worth $238 million.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, the game would reset to a $40 million minimum, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced Powerball officials to cut the minimum jackpot in half, which began with the 04\/11\/20 jackpot.<\/p>\n<p>The odds of hitting the grand prize jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338, regardless of the jackpot size\u2014according to Powerball&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n<p>Powerball is a multi-state lottery played every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and one of America&#8217;s two biggest lottery jackpot games. Powerball jackpots start at $20 million, and other prizes pay from $1 million to $2 million with a Power Play. Tickets are $2. You can check the numbers for tonight, or any past winning numbers, on the official <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.powerball.com\">Powerball website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are nine ways to win money during the Powerball. Just getting the Powerball with no other numbers pays out $4, and even more if the power play is bought for an extra dollar. The same payout goes for one ball plus the Powerball, and $7 is the payout for two correct numbers with the Powerball, or three correct numbers and no Powerball.<\/p>\n<p>If all five white, numbered balls are chosen but the red Powerball is not correct, then the payout is $1 million, with an even higher payout if the power play is chosen.<\/p>\n<p>The other multi-state lottery is Mega Millions, which is played on Tuesdays and Fridays. Like Powerball, the jackpot is reset at $20 million after a jackpot is won, and one line of numbers is $2, with a $1 option to multiply their winnings with a Megaplier.
