The Powerball jackpot is on the rise again after no one won the top prize in Wednesday night’s drawing, sending the jackpot up to $856 million or a cash value of $341.6 million. While there was no jackpot winner, one lucky person in Ohio won the $1 million Match 5 prize. The historic run has seen the jackpot soar to $856 million, making it the 8th-largest in Powerball history. The most recent jackpot win was on May 2, 2026, when two tickets in Florida and Texas split a $20 million jackpot. The largest Powerball jackpot ever awarded was in 2022 when a ticket in California won a $2.04 billion grand prize.
