The jackpot has risen to $482 million, with its next drawing coming up on Saturday!

If a single Arizona lottery player wins, it would make for the largest jackpot ever won in the state. The current largest prize ever won in Arizona was $473.1 million in 2022, when a Gilbert couple drew the winning numbers.

The next drawing is Saturday at 7:
