Based on 801 Lotto draws recorded since 22 December 2018, up to 22 August 2026. Every table below is historical frequency data - a fun bit of history to browse, not a guide to future results. Past draws have no effect on future ones, since each draw is an independent, random event.

Biggest Powerball Jackpots in Site History

Lotto's own Division 1 is a fixed $1 million minimum guarantee, so it has no "biggest" to rank - see the note below. It's the Powerball add-on jackpot that actually rolls over and grows, so these are the largest Powerball Division 1 jackpots on offer since 22 December 2018, whether won that draw or rolled over to the next.

Lotto Statistics FAQ

No. Every Lotto draw is an independent, random event - the machine has no memory of past draws. A number's past frequency, however striking, has no bearing on whether it will be drawn next time. This page is a historical record, not a prediction tool.
The figures on this page are recalculated automatically whenever a new Lotto, Powerball, or Strike draw is imported, so they always reflect the latest result.
Lotto's own Division 1 prize is a fixed $1 million minimum guarantee, so it doesn't grow when nobody wins it. It's the separate Powerball add-on jackpot that actually rolls over and grows each time it goes unwon, up to a $50 million cap.
