The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1.80 billion ahead of Saturday night’s drawing, officially making it the second-largest Powerball jackpot in U.S. history.

The jackpot has been building since June 1, when a single ticket in Michigan claimed $224 million. In the 37 drawings since, no player has matched all six numbers — the most drawings ever in a single jackpot run — sending the prize pool into historic territory. It is the first time Powerball has reached this level since November 2022, when a California player won $2.04 billion.

“This jackpot is truly a historic moment in lottery history. At $1.80 billion, this Powerball run has already set records for longevity and now ranks as the second-largest prize ever. At Jackpot.com, we’re excited to help players across the country take part in a truly unforgettable moment.”

Jackpot.com allows customers to digitally order official state lottery tickets and scratch offs. Through the Jackpot.com platform, lottery players can place orders for their favorite games, choose their lucky numbers, and get notified if they win. Winnings under $600 are automatically deposited into customer accounts, while winning tickets over $600 are sent to the winners to be redeemed at lottery redemption centers. The service is available now in Colorado, Massachusetts, Arkansas, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Arizona.
