After a months-long winless streak, one very lucky lottery player in California won the Powerball jackpot worth more than $1 billion. Wednesday's prize, which rose to $1.08 billion by drawing time, ranks as the game's third largest prize, only behind the world record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won last year and the $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot won in 2016. It's the sixth-largest lottery win among all games. Jackpot winners have the option to be paid out the full amount over 29 years, or choose the smaller cash option. The cash option for Wednesday's drawing was $558.1 million, before taxes.
