Powerball Jackpot Swells To $1.4 Billion
Lottery officials say the Powerball Jackpot has swelled to an estimated $1.4 billion, with a cash value of 867.9 million — the world’s largest lottery prize. Ever.
The jackpot is so big that billboards around the country have to advertise the price as $999 million because they’re not built to show billions.
No one matched all six Powerball numbers Saturday night, leading to the astronomical prize. And that is all but certain to grow before the next drawing Wednesday, according to lottery officials.
