The Powerball jackpot has jumped to $675 million in advance of tonight’s drawing. The cash option for the jackpot is about $341 million.
With the increase, the Powerball jackpot is the ninth largest in the game’s history, and second-largest jackpot this year. In February, a player in Washington won a $754.6 million jackpot.
Tonight’s drawing will be the 35th drawing since the Powerball jackpot was last won. The Powerball jackpot was won most recently in April, when one ticket purchased in Ohio matched the five white balls and the Powerball to win a $252.6 million jackpot.
The last Michigan player to win a Powerball jackpot was Cristy Davis, of Waterford. Davis won the game’s $70 million jackpot on Feb. 12, 2020.
