Today could be a lucky day for Powerball players. The game’s jackpot has soared to $856 million, making it the eighth-largest prize in the game’s history and the largest of the year so far.

This is now the largest lottery prize of the year so far, eclipsing the $800 million Mega Millions jackpot won by a Florida ticket buyer last week.

The Powerball jackpot has continued its summer surge, reaching an estimated $856 million.
