$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Michigan Lottery players have already purchased more than 1.2 million Powerball tickets for tomorrow night’s world-record $1.9 billion Powerball jackpot.
Monday’s drawing marks the 41st drawing since the Powerball jackpot was last won on Aug. 3, tying a record for the longest jackpot run in Powerball history. On Aug. 3, one ticket purchased in Pennsylvania matched the five white balls and the Powerball to win a $206 million jackpot.
If a lucky player wins the $1.9 billion jackpot, it will be the largest Lottery jackpot ever won. The current world record jackpot is $1.586 billion. That Powerball jackpot was won on Jan. 13, 2016 and was split by three winning tickets purchased in California, Florida, and Tennessee.
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.
A $1.05 billion Mega Millions jackpot currently holds the record for the largest prize ever won in Michigan. That prize was won in January 2021 by an Oakland County lottery club and is the fourth largest prize won of all time.
Powerball tickets may be purchased until 9:45 p.m. Monday at retailers throughout the state. Tickets also may be purchased online at MichiganLottery.com.
