SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With Labor Day weekend ahead, lottery players across the country are lining up for a historic opportunity. The Powerball® jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1 billion, marking only the sixth time in the game's history that the prize has crossed into ten-digit territory.

It has been nearly three months since a player last matched all six numbers, when a California ticket hit for $204.5 million on May 31. Since then, rollover after rollover has pushed Powerball into rarified air, placing this draw firmly among the largest jackpots ever offered in U.S. history.
