Powerball jackpot grows again
The Powerball jackpot has increased to $935 million after no one matched the six numbers drawn. The drawing came a day after a player in New Jersey won a $1.13 billion Mega Millions prize.
The Powerball jackpot has been growing for months, since the last winner on New Year's Day. The game's odds of 1 in 292.2 million are designed to create big jackpots that will grab attention and increase sales.
The $935 million prize for the next drawing Saturday night is for a sole winner who is paid over 30 years through an annuity. Winners usually opt for a cash payout, which for the next drawing would be an estimated $449.7 million.
