From News Nation:
“Powerball jumps to $1.9
billion”
A record Powerball jackpot grew
to an even larger $1.9 billion after no one won the lottery drawing on Saturday
night. The numbers for the drawing were: white balls 28, 45, 53, 56, 69 and red
Powerball 20. The website of the California Lottery Association said the next
chance for someone to get lucky will be Monday. The new $1.9 billion jackpot is
for a winner who is paid through an annuity over 29 years. Winners of lottery
jackpots usually prefer a lump sum of cash, which for Monday’s drawing would be
$929.1 million, the California lottery site said. The Powerball prize keeps
getting more massive because of the inability of anyone to overcome the long
odds of 1 in 292.2 million and win the jackpot. To take the top prize, players
must match all five white balls and one red Powerball. Since someone won the
prize on Aug. 3, there have been 40 drawings without a winner. Powerball is
played in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
