The Powerball jackpot has reached a record-breaking $1.4 billion, making it the third-largest lottery prize in US history. The odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 292.2 million, but that hasn’t stopped millions of people from buying tickets in hopes of becoming an instant millionaire.

The Powerball jackpot has been growing since November 7th, when it was at $40 million. Since then, it has grown exponentially, with no one matching all six numbers to win the grand prize. This is the first time the Powerball jackpot has ever reached $1 billion, and it’s the third-largest lottery prize in US history.

The previous record-holder was the Mega Millions lottery, which reached a jackpot of $1.537 billion in October 2018. The largest lottery prize ever won in the US was a $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot in January 2016.

The current Powerball jackpot is made up of 25 consecutive rollovers, with no one matching all six numbers since November 7th. The odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 292.2 million, but that hasn’t stopped millions of people from buying tickets in hopes of becoming an instant millionaire.

The Powerball jackpot is expected to continue to grow until someone matches all six numbers and wins the grand prize. The next drawing will take place on Wednesday, January 13th at 10:59pm EST. If no one wins the grand prize, the jackpot will increase to an estimated $2 billion for the next drawing on Saturday, January 16th.
