Powerball not only set a new lottery jackpot record last night, but it also broke the old record, putting the notion of a $2 billion lottery jackpot within reach.

The $1.9 billion annuity jackpot is accompanied by a cash value of $929.1 million — nearly a billion dollars in cash! This makes it the second-highest cash value in history.

The jackpot has grown to this size since it began on Aug. 6 as a $20 million prize — now 40 consecutive drawings without a winner.
