Tonight's Powerball drawing could end up being a record one in New York State.

The current Powerball jackpot, at the time of this writing, is $426 million, which is almost $100 million dollars more than the current record for the largest Powerball jackpot ever won by a New York State resident.

Largest Powerball Jackpot In New York State History

The current record for the largest Powerball jackpot in New York State history is $343 million dollars. That jackpot was won by Robert Bailey back in October 2018. He opted to take the cash value of the annuitized prize, earning him a single lump sum payment totaling just over $198 million dollars.

That means if someone in New York State were to win the Powerball tonight, they would set a new record for the largest Powerball jackpot.

Imagine what you could do with all the money. You could go on vacation, get a beach house down south, or launch a new business.

Of course, you need to be in it to win it.
