The biggest ever lottery win in every state

The largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history was a $2.04 billion Powerball win in California in 2022, followed by a $1.817 billion Powerball jackpot in Arkansas. Factors like rising interest rates and updated game rules have contributed to increasing jackpots, with the current Powerball jackpot at $707 million. States without lotteries, such as Alabama, Alaska, and Hawaii, were excluded from the list.
