The Powerball jackpot is soaring to unprecedented levels, standing at an estimated $1.60 billion after no ticket matched all numbers in the December 20 draw. This staggering amount ranks it among the top five largest lottery prizes in U.S. history.
Since a couple of winners managed to defy the astronomical odds of 1 in 292.2 million on September 6, the jackpot has continued to grow. Should a single ticket holder match all six numbers in the upcoming draw, they could walk away with a cash prize estimated at $735.3 million.
This year has already seen some significant Powerball wins. In September, a massive $1.8 billion jackpot was claimed, followed by a $526.5 million prize in California in March and a $328.5 million win in Oregon in January.
