Powerball jackpot ballooned to whopping $681M ahead of pre-Thanksgiving drawing

The Powerball prize has surged to an impressive $681 million just before the Wednesday night drawing, giving today’s contestants a renewed hope that their Thanksgiving will be extra special. The jackpot has been climbing steadily for almost three months now, with no winner reporting since September 6. The most recent drawing occurred on Monday, but no tickets matched the winning numbers, so players still have a chance on Wednesday. While the advertised jackpot is nearly $700 million, the lump‑sum cash option comes to roughly $315.7 million, according to state lottery officials. Previously, the biggest Single Powerball win was $2.04 billion, pocketed by Californian Edwin Castro on November 7, 2022.
