Powerball has seen some truly massive jackpots in recent years. The current jackpot, while impressive, still falls short of the record $2.04 billion won by a single ticket in California on November 7, 2022. Other notable jackpots include the $1.765 billion won on October 11, 2023, also in California, and the $1.586 billion split between winners in California, Florida, and Tennessee on January 13, 2016.

As players across the country check their tickets and dream of what they'd do with the winnings, the excitement builds for Monday's drawing. Whether it's a single winner or a group of lucky players, the next Powerball millionaire could be just around the corner.
