The Powerball jackpot reached a level ahead of Monday night\u2019s drawing making it one of the biggest that the game has seen so far in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Powerball’s grand prize climbed to $522 million after there were no winners in Saturday’s drawing, an annuitized payout that the lottery declared the “third-largest” jackpot of the year. Its one-time cash value, meanwhile, totaled $252.4 million.<\/p>\n

The biggest jackpot that Powerball has recorded year to date was valued at $1.08 billion, according to the lottery. Behind that was a $754.6 million grand prize in February.<\/p>\n

The jackpot reached $1.08 billion in July, with someone in California having purchased the lucky ticket, Powerball said. Thirty-eight back-to-back drawings preceded the person in California scoring that windfall, which represented its third-largest ever.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
