Powerball jackpot reaches $1.5 billion
If you feel lucky today, the amount you can win in the Powerball lottery game might be enough to test it. No one had all six numbers in Monday’s Powerball drawing, causing it to rollover to $1.3 billion. Close to a dozen people, including one in Illinois, picked all five white balls, netting them $1 million. At $1.3 billion, Wednesday’s jackpot is the fifth-largest in Powerball history and the ninth-largest in lottery history. The top lottery prize came in 2022 when a California man won a $2.2 billion jackpot.
