Could there be a $1 billion jackpot?
The size of U.S. lottery jackpots is growing as game mergers and ticket price increases drive amounts higher.
Americans have 400 million reasons to look forward to Wednesday night.
Get out those tickets box and let's play powerball.
400 million-dollar powerball jackpot,that's keeping stores like this,busy across the US.
I will take powerball five tickets,mean 10 dollars,right?
They aren't buying dollar-tickets,they are buying 10,20,more,50
This jackpot is already the third largest powerball ever.And the more who buy,the bigger the pot.Players maybe vie for much more in years to come.
You could see maybe in the next several years,maybe a lose of a billion dollar jackpot.
That's right,a billion with a B.Since the first drawing in 1992,jackpots have gotten bigger and bigger and bigger.In June,G of Florida won the biggest jackpot ever.590,000,000 dollars.
In the last couple years,there has been the emerge of mega millions and the powerball.And now you can both in just about every state in the United States which gives you a much bigger poll of which makes us jackpot pulls a lot bigger as well.Powerball at the same time,doubled the price of their tickets from one dollar to two dollars.
Powerball tickets are sold in 43 states,Washington DC and virgin islands,but the chance of winning the jackpot,less than one in 175,000,000.That's not discouraging these buyers.
This is what I take right here.
Very lucky day.
