The largest Powerball jackpot of 2023, and the third in the game’s history, was won in July by a lucky player in California, who walked away with the $1.08 billion prize, the lottery said.
The jackpot has been up for grabs in 27 consecutive drawings since July’s victory.
Behind that was a $754.6 million grand prize won by a player in Washington in February, which is considered the sixth-largest prize ever awarded to the game.
