Episode Details

Powerball just hit a jaw-dropping $1 billion jackpot—its eighth-largest ever and the 15th time it’s reached this stratospheric level. The cash prize? A staggering $433.1 million before taxes. This is the biggest U.S. lottery jackpot of the year, and the first since December’s record-breaking $1.82 billion win in Arkansas. Sales surged 86% from the prior week, fueled by new players flooding in from the UK, which launched Powerball sales in late July. This Wednesday’s drawing could be historic: it’s the first time a UK player might claim the top prize. Even without a jackpot winner on Monday, there were still big wins—including $2 million in Tennessee and millions in California and Maryland. Odds? One in 292.2 million. But hey, someone’s gotta win—and the drawing is set for 10:59 PM ET.
