The largest Powerball wins
Have you ever looked at the jackpots on the Powerball lotto and wondered just how someone could win that much money? Well, a lot of people have. In fact, people have won over a billion on the Powerball and the only way that you could be a part of that is to take the chance and buy a lottery ticket first.
Biggest Powerball winners
- $1.586 Billion – This Powerball ticket was the biggest prize in history and it was drawn in January of 2016. Not only that but it was shared by only three tickets, which means that each person got an offer of 327.8 million for their lump-sum payment.
- $768.4 million - This one was definitely a huge step down from the largest prize in history, but it was won by only a single person, which means they actually got a larger payout, with a $477 million payout rather than the annual sum.
- $758.7 million – This one is a little bit lower, but this winner was able to claim the ticket all by herself and got over $480.5 million. That’s definitely a big check and since she didn’t have to share it that makes it even better.
- $687.8 million – With this ticket, there were two winners who split the money, but that definitely still seems like a good way to go and a great windfall. Even if it is quite a step down from the next highest win.
- $590.5 million – We drop down quite a bit to the other winners, but this one was the largest jackpot won by a single person for quite a while and she was able to get a one-time payment of $370 million, which still puts her above our first place winners.
