"Two Powerball players picked all the right numbers in Missouri and Texas on Saturday night, but that doesn't mean that California was left empty-handed. Saturday's Powerball jackpot is the second-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history. The pot ballooned from $1.70 billion to $1.80 billion between Thursday and Friday night. The largest Powerball jackpot in history was won in California on Nov. 7, 2022 for $2.04 billion."
