The $700m Powerball jackpot ranks as the 10th largest in US lottery history and comes on the heels of a $1.35bn Mega Millions prize won by someone in Maine less than three weeks ago and a record $2.04bn Powerball jackpot won by a California player last November. The last time someone won the Powerball jackpot was 19 November 2022, which means a winner of this jackpot would be the first Powerball winner of 2023. Powerball jackpot drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
