Powerball Hits $1 Billion Jackpot | Pittsburgh News

Powerball just hit a jaw-dropping $1 billion jackpot—its eighth largest ever and the biggest of 2026—after no one won last Monday’s $905 million draw. If claimed as a lump sum, it’s worth over $433 million before taxes. The last big win was back in May for $20 million, making this drought feel even more electric. Only 15 times in U.S. lottery history has a jackpot reached this level—and with odds of 1 in 292 million, dreamers are still lining up to play Wednesday night.
