Powerball Jackpot Hits Staggering $1.5 Billion

The bad news is that no one won Wednesday night’s huge $1.2 billion Powerball jackpot. The good news is that means the prize has grown even larger to $1.5 billion ahead of the next drawing.

The Powerball jackpot ranks as the second-largest lottery prize in U.S. history and could break lottery records by Saturday night amid a flurry of ticket-buying. The largest lottery payout ever was $1.586 billion, split between three winners in California, Florida and Tennessee.
