View Date:2024-12-23 19:20:18
The Powerball jackpot continues to climb and hit new records after no winners have claimed the prize in four months. The jackpot surpassed the $1 billion mark this week: Saturday's drawing is worth $1.23 billion with a $595.1 million cash value.
It is the fourth-largest prize in Powerball history, according to the lottery.
The Powerball was last claimed in January after a player in Michigan won $842 million. The largest Powerball jackpot ever won was in November 2022, when a single winner in California walked away with the $2.04 billion prize.
