Jackpots that made history

If won in Saturday's draw, this jackpot will be the third-largest prize ever won in Powerball’s history. 

The second-largest prize was won in January 2016 by John and Lisa Robinson from Munford in Tennessee, David Kaltschmidt and Maureen Smith from Melbourne Beach in Florida, and Marvin and Mae Acosta from Chino Hills in California. They won $1.58 billion and shared the cash option of $983.5 million.

The biggest prize was won in November last year by Edwin Castro from California. He won $2.04 billion and went for the cash option of $997.6 million.

So what happens if someone matches all numbers on Saturday? After claiming their prize, the jackpot winner can also choose between annuity and cash. If they go for the annuity option, the prize will be spread over 29 years, with every payment increasing by 5% each year. In case the winner decides to take the lump sum, the cash value of this prize will be approximately $441.9 million.
