The Powerball lottery jackpot was last won by someone in Arizona back on April 1st. It's been two months since the last winner and the jackpot is growing again and starting to peak interest in sideline players!
With no winner Saturday night, the Powerball jackpot has rolled over again and they're estimating it will be around $310 million for tonight's drawing. Are the odds of winning better in Texas? See why that may be true, especially with the smaller cash prizes.
Mega Millions, it's the lottery game that has slightly better odds than the Poweball lottery and now has a jackpot worth more than a half a billion dollars!
Oh, sure. Winning one billion dollars would be nice.
Actually, it would be totally sweet.
BUT - it could also be the worst thing that ever happened to you.
Case in point: Jack Whittaker.
Jack was 55 years old when he scored one of the largest jackpots in American history, $315 million...
Many of us watched with anticipation for those five white-numbered balls along with the lone red one to dramatically change our lives to the tune of $524 million Wednesday night.
