New From The Big Jackpot
The latest tweets from @thebigjackpotli. Hardly a day goes by without some awesomely original insight from a viewer, and much of what shapes the Big Jackpot experience-whether it be a new t-shirt design, what machine to play or which casino to visit-stems from their suggestions! About The Big Jackpot: The Big Jackpot began life as a hobby and has quickly evolved into a phenomenon.

Update: 8:06 p.m. There are less than a couple hours left for Ohio Lottery players to buy their tickets for a chance to win Saturday's $640 million Powerball jackpot.

No one picked all six winning numbers in Wednesday's Powerball drawing. That jackpot is now at $640 million. The next Powerball drawing is at 11 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 16.
The estimated $850 million jackpot would be the third largest prize in American lottery history, below only two billion-dollar-plus jackpots: the world record Powerball jackpot of $1.586 billion on Jan. 13, 2016 and the current Mega Millions record of $1.537 billion on Oct. 23, 2018. The latter is the world’s largest prize won on a single ticket, as the Powerball record was shared by three winning tickets.
There were a total of 4,682,795 winning tickets at all prize levels in the Jan.15 drawing, including eight that matched the five white balls to win the game’s $1 million second prize. Two of those were sold in New Jersey, with one each in California, Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Wisconsin.
The top five Mega Millions jackpots and when and where winning tickets were sold:
- $1.537 billion Oct. 23, 2918, South Carolina
