The biggest lottery jackpot ever was a $1.586 billion Powerball prize won in January 2016.
In addition to the winning tickets sold in California and Wisconsin for the 11th biggest jackpot in U.S. lottery history, there were 14 second-prize tickets sold, like one particular in Lakewood worth $1 million.
The lucky player can also pick out to accept a 1-time, lump-sum cash payout of $276.five million, although they will need to make that claim within 60 days of the drawing.
The jackpot for Friday’s drawing is estimated at $90,000.
The retailer will acquire a $95,000 bonus commission for selling the jackpot-winning POWERBALL ticket.
The Powerball jackpot elevated to $245 million for Wednesday's drawing.
