Powerball jackpot gets bigger and bigger.

Powerball jackpot climbs to $290M as no one wins top prize

Wonderful! The powerball jackpot increases again to an estimated $290 million dollars since no one won it as of yet. Since there were no jackpot winners, the amount continues to increase. There were a few winners in Oklahoma, and Oregon which both had tickets with the matching 5 numbers, but no powerball. Gloria C. Mackenzie won the largest powerball prize in history at $590 million, and she took the lump sum payout of $370million. The chances of winning the Powerball grand prize are 1 in 175,223,510. Seems any of us could use some of those powerball winnings. With odds like 175million to one, is it worth trying? I say why not. If an 84 year old can take a chance, what do I have to lose? Well, off to buy my powerball tickets now. See you in Cabo!
