Powerball is giving Michigan Lottery players a chance at a green Christmas with a $638 million jackpot up for grabs tomorrow night! The cash option for the jackpot is $321 million.

If a player wins the $638 million Powerball jackpot on Monday it would be the fourth time the game’s jackpot has been won on Christmas. The last time Powerball had a jackpot winner on Christmas Day was 10 years ago, when a ticket in Missouri won a $71.5 million jackpot on Dec. 25, 2013. There have been three Powerball jackpots won on Christmas:

• Dec. 25, 1996 – $48.2 million – Idaho
• Dec. 25, 2002 – $314.9 million – West Virginia
• Dec. 25, 2013 – $71.5 million – Missouri

The $638 million jackpot marks the fourth time the Powerball jackpot has topped half a billion dollars in 2023. If a lucky player wins the Powerball jackpot on Monday night, it would be the fourth largest Powerball jackpot won this year.

The Powerball jackpot was last won on Oct. 11 when one ticket purchased in California won the $1.76 billion jackpot. The jackpot was the largest Powerball jackpot won this year and the second largest jackpot in Powerball history.

The last Michigan player to win a Powerball jackpot was Cristy Davis, of Waterford. Davis won the game’s $70 million jackpot on Feb. 12, 2020.
