Powerball Jackpot Soars to $935 Million, Fifth-Largest in History
The Powerball jackpot has reached a staggering $935 million after 37 consecutive drawings without a winner, making it the game's fifth-largest total ever.
- A mystery person in New Jersey wins a $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpot, becoming the eighth-largest win in U.S. lottery history.
- The winning ticket was sold at a ShopRite liquor store in Neptune, New Jersey, with the store donating its $30,000 commission to charity.
- The Powerball jackpot has now climbed to $935 million, marking the fifth-largest pot in Powerball history and the first to cross into 900 million this year.
- No Powerball jackpot winner has emerged since New Year's Day, resulting in 37 consecutive drawings without a top-prize winner.
- The winner of the $1.13 billion jackpot faces a significant tax bill, with the final take-home amount likely to be much lower than the estimated jackpot.
