Powerball Hits $1 Billion Jackpot | California News

Powerball just hit a jaw-dropping $1 billion jackpot—its biggest ever since November 2022—and it’s the eighth largest in Powerball history. With no winner on Monday’s drawing, Wednesday’s game is now the most lucrative lottery prize of the year. But that’s the annuity option; the cash value? A still-staggering $433 million before taxes. This marks only the 15th time in U.S. lottery history a jackpot has reached this level—and the last big win was back in May, when two tickets split a $20 million prize. For context, odds are one in nearly 300 million. Still, ticket sales are surging across the U.S. and even the U.K., as dreamers hope to turn luck into life-changing wealth.
