Last month, one winning ticket was sold at a mini-market in downtown Los Angeles for Powerball’s $1.08 billion jackpot. After it was determined there was a winner, officials said it might take months for the ticket holder or holders to be identified publicly.

The largest U.S. jackpot was a $2.04 billion Powerball prize won in November 2022.
