The Powerball's historic run continued into the Saturday, Sept. 6, drawing as the jackpot rose to $1.8 billion, making it the second-largest drawing in the history of the United States.
If someone matches all five numbers and the Powerball on Saturday, they can choose a one-time cash payment of $826.4 million. That's before federal taxes and possibly state taxes.
The only larger jackpot, and the only one to ever eclipse $2 billion, came in November 2022 when the winning ticket was sold in California. The largest-ever Mega Millions jackpot ($1.602 billion in August 2023) was also sold in California.
Here is what you ahead of tonight's drawing.

How to play the Powerball
To play the Powerball lottery, you need to purchase a ticket for $2. Tickets are available at various locations, such as your local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store. In some states, you can also buy Powerball tickets online.
Once you have your ticket, you need to choose six numbers. Five of them will be white balls numbered from 1 to 69, and one red Powerball numbered from 1 to 26. Additionally, you have the option to add a "Power Play" for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes.
The "Power Play" multiplier can multiply winnings by: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
If you are feeling unlucky or want the computer to do the work for you, the "Quick Pick" option is available, where computer-generated numbers will be printed on a Powerball ticket. To win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.
Powerball drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. If no one wins the jackpot, the cash prize will continue to tick up.
