Powerball Jackpot Zooms To $815 Million, the 7th Largest In History: New Hampshire Lottery

CONCORD, NH — There was no winner for Powerball on Monday night, which means there have been 37 straight drawings without anyone picking the jackpot numbers.

The lack of a winner since late May has led to the jackpot growing to $815 million, the seventh largest in the game’s history. The one-time cash payout amount is expected to be around $368 million, before taxes.

The Top 10 Powerball jackpots in history are:

1. $2.04 billion, Nov. 7, 2022
2. $1.765 billion, Oct. 11, 2023
3. $1.586 billion, Jan. 13, 2016
4. 1.326 billion, April 6, 2024

9. $758.7 million, Aug. 23, 2017
10. $754.6 million, Feb. 6, 2023

“As this record-breaking jackpot continues to climb, so do our sales,” Charlie McIntyre, the executive director of the New Hampshire Lottery, said. “Last week, we sold $1.8 million in Powerball tickets alone. There’s really nothing more exciting than a big jackpot in the Granite State. I am just itching to give away a big check for this one, so make sure you visit your local retailer or NH iLottery to purchase your tickets for a chance to win. It only takes one to win.”

Tickets can be purchased until 9:50 p.m., with the drawing taking place at 10:59 p.m. The game is drawn on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, at more than 1,200 retailers across the state and online.

Since the mid-1960s, more than $3 billion has been derived for education via the lottery.
