As lottery fever escalates during the holiday season, a fortunate ticket purchased in Florida has secured a $1 million Powerball prize.

The jackpot itself continues to grow, having rolled over multiple times, fueling anticipation for a potential holiday winner or an even larger prize.

This current streak of rollovers has pushed the prize significantly higher, creating excitement nationwide. Mega Millions also saw a substantial winner recently with a nearly billion-dollar prize sold in Georgia.
