A record-breaking $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot is up for grabs on Saturday. This is the second-largest lottery jackpot ever, following a $2.04 billion win in 2022. The prize has grown due to over 40 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner. The winner can choose between 30 annual payments totaling $1.8 billion or a lump sum cash payout of approximately $826.4 million. Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
