Growth stops when two spheres meet leading eventually to a jammed state. We study the statistics of growth limited by packing theoretically in d dimensions and via simulation in d=2, 3, and 4. We show how a broad class of such models exhibit distributions of sphere radii with a universal exponent. We construct a scaling theory that relates the fractal structure of these models to the decay of their pore space, a theory that we confirm via numerical simulations. The scaling theory also predicts an upper bound for the universal exponent and is in exact agreement with numerical results for d=4.6 pages, 5 figures, 4 tables, revtex4 to appear in Phys. Rev.
