The Powerball Lottery draw held last Saturday, February 4, did not have a winner, so the prize pool amounted to US$747 million.
Because of this, the Powerball jackpot became the fifth highest in the history of this lottery.
This Monday, February 6, the Powerball Lottery draw will be held again to try to find a lucky winner after almost three months without anyone guessing the winning numbers.
The last Powerball winner came out in the draw on November 19, 2022, when a ticket sold in Kansas garnered the $93 million grand prize.
What is the highest prize pool in Powerball Lottery history?
The highest prize pool in the Powerball Lottery was won on November 7th, when a person from California won US$2.04 billion after guessing the winning numbers.

The US$2.04 billion obtained by the winning ticket became the largest prize ever obtained in a lottery and surpassed the previous record established in 2016, when the Powerball jackpot (US$1.586 million) was won by various tickets in California, Florida and Tennessee.
Another huge lottery jackpot will be up for grabs on Monday. There were no big winners in Saturday’s $704.4 million Powerball drawing, which has caused the jackpot to grow to $747 million. New York State had one third-prize ticket worth $100,000. pic.twitter.com/dLKuR6u81P
