Powerball jackpot 3rd largest in games history, no winner yet
TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now)- Many players are still
hopeful. The Powerball jackpot now
stands at $475 million dollars, the third biggest prize ever.
Lottery officials expect
Jackpot totals of this size to continue to climb in shorter amounts of
time. A game redesign last year increased
the odds of winning some kind of prize, but also lowered the possible number
combinations to win.
The redesign means players
don't really need to strike big to get lucky.
A $1 increase and new $1
million and $2 million prizes means the odds of winning something have
increased.
Just last Saturday, there
was no Powerball jackpot winner, but more than a dozen tickets won $1 million
prizes in 10 states.
The next drawing will be
Saturday.
