WASHINGTON — Check your tickets: Could you be a winner in Saturday's $820 million Powerball drawing?

The prize, an estimated $378.2 million in cash, has grown to become the second-largest Powerball jackpot this year, though the prize pales in comparison to September's historic drawing , when two tickets sold in Missouri and Texas split a $1.8 billion jackpot — the second-largest U.S. lottery prize ever won.

The jackpot was last won Sept. 6, when those two winners overcame odds of 1 in 292.2 million.

The largest Powerball jackpot remains $2.04 billion, won in California in November 2022. This year has seen three major Powerball wins: the record $1.787 billion September prize, a $526.5 million jackpot claimed in California in March and a $328.5 million prize won in Oregon in January.
