SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Powerball® jackpot has reached an estimated $1.40 billion ahead of Wednesday night’s drawing, putting it among the largest lottery prizes ever awarded in U.S. history.
The jackpot has been steadily climbing since May 31, when a single ticket in California claimed $204.5 million. In the 36 drawings since, no player has matched all six numbers, propelling the prize pool into historic territory. It is the first time Powerball has crossed the $1 billion mark since April 2024, when a single ticket in Oregon won $1.326 billion.
To mark this milestone, Jackpot.com is giving new players a chance to join the excitement with a special offer. First-time customers who sign up and make their initial deposit can enter promo code TWOFREE to receive two free Powerball tickets for Wednesday’s drawing.
“Billion-dollar jackpots have become more than just lottery drawings — they’re shared national moments,” said Akshay Khanna, CEO and co-founder of Jackpot.com. “Friends and coworkers start pools, families talk about what they’d do if they won, and communities come together around the excitement. At Jackpot.com, our goal is to make joining that moment easier and safer than ever.”
