Lottery fever
The jackpot is big, but not as big as it was two weeks ago.
According to CBS News, the Powerball jackpot was $447 million two weeks ago. One lucky lottery player matched all six numbers and won the whole jackpot. No word on whether or not that persona has come forward to claim his or her prize, but it's totally possible that they are consulting a lawyer before they do. After all, that's a lot of money to be responsible for!
If no one wins the $47 million that's up for grab next Wednesday night, the jackpot will continue to grow, but it will take several weeks with no winners to get as big as it was two weeks ago.
Powerball tickets cost $2 each and are sold at lottery retailers across the nation. Add the Powerplay feature for an extra $1. Currently, the popular lottery game can be played in 44 states; Washington, D.C.; Puerto Rico; and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets can be purchased up to an hour before the 10:59 p.m. ET drawings held on Wednesday and Saturday nights.
