A look back at some of the past lottery winners over the years, from how they won to their experiences after getting the money.
Powerball's grand prize has reached $1 billion less than a week after one lucky winner snagged a $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpot on March 26.jackpot jumped to $1 billion before the drawing as the massive prize lures in more players hoping for a shot at the life-changing windfall.
No one has won Powerball's top prize since New Year's Day, amounting to 38 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner. That streak without a winner is nearing the record number of 41 consecutive drawings, set twice in 2022 and 2021. If a winner matches all five numbers and the Powerball, they have the option to take the full jackpot paid out over 30 years, or a smaller cash payout. Winners almost always take the cash option.
The Powerball drawing takes place live at 10:59 p.m. Eastern every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets, which cost $2 per play, are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are one in 292.2 million.
