What are the 10 largest US lottery jackpots ever won?

(AP) – The Powerball jackpot is growing to an estimated $1.5 billion for Saturday night’s drawing after lottery officials said no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Wednesday night.

The U.S. has seen more than a dozen lottery jackpot prizes exceed $1 billion since 2016.

The record prize was $2.04 billion in November 2022.

The winning ticket was purchased at a Los Angeles-area gas station.

California has been the luckiest state, producing multiple huge winners, but other big wins have been recorded in Florida, Missouri, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, Maine, Illinois, Michigan, Oregon and New Jersey.
