A Powerball ticket came just one number short of the historic jackpot but still secured a large prize. There was one Powerball drawing during the holiday period that made everyone so excited. One of the participants came so close to claiming the massive $1.8 billion prize money.

Tuesday's four major money Florida Lottery drawings - Mega Millions, Cash4Life, Fantasy 5, Jackpot Triple Play - had four jackpot winners. But they shared only one jackpot.

This is the first jackpot of $100,000 or more at Coast casinos in 2026 after 31 hit in 2025. “We are super excited to have the first statewide area progressive of the new year hit at Beau Rivage,” said Steven Mink, Beau Rivage senior manager of slot operations.

A Powerball player in Virginia missed out on the colossal $1.817 billion jackpot by just one number, but still walked away with a modest $100,000 payout.

The life-changing win came just as 2026 began, dwarfing the previous year's largest jackpot by nearly $750,000.

The Tuesday, Jan. 6, draw already has an estimated $50-million jackpot — plus an estimated two MaxMillions up for grabs. MaxMillions are prizes of $1 million. This new jackpot comes just seven days after an Ontario lottery player or group has won the $80-million jackpot. The winning ticket was sold in London.

A mysterious Georgia lottery player has claimed the historic $983 million Mega Millions jackpot, which is the largest in the state’s history.

The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery's Natural State Jackpot has reached $360,000 for the Monday night drawing, with tickets costing $1 and winners having 180 days to collect their winnings.
