Powerball has seen numerous records. The largest Powerball jackpot in history was $2.04 billion, won by a player in California in November 2022. This jackpot was notable for being delayed due to technical issues during the draw.
Other significant jackpots include #1.76 billion won in 2021, and 158 billion won in January 2016.
