Powerball Jackpot Hits $545 Million After Rollover Record

The ‘Love You More Trust’, from Florida, banked $285 million on June 5th and claimed the money a few weeks later. There have been big changes to the game since then, with a Monday drawing introduced in August and Double Play also launched in several states.

The jackpot has continued to grow, starting at $20 million and gathering pace in recent draws. It has now passed $500 million and is set to accelerate even quicker until someone matches all the numbers.

In the 29-year history of Powerball, there have never been so many consecutive draws without a winner. The previous record was set earlier this year, when it took 35 rollovers to produce a jackpot of $731 million. A group from Maryland, known as The Power Pack, claimed the giant prize.

Biggest Powerball Jackpots

There is still a long way to go until the Powerball jackpot gets close to the highest of all time, which was set back in 2016.  On that occasion, there were 19 rollovers before a grand prize of $1.58 billion was split between three tickets. The lucky winners were from California, Florida and Tennessee.

The biggest payout to a single ticket came in March 2019, when Wisconsin’s Manuel Franco was the only player to match all the numbers in a $768 million drawing. Franco was just 24 years old and said he was looking forward to ‘helping out the world’.
