Powerball Edges Closer to $1 Billion — The Biggest of the Year
The Powerball jackpot edged closer to $1 billion, the largest prize of the year, after no one won Monday night’s lottery drawing.
Wednesday’s jackpot is estimated at $975 million, with a cash value of $422.3 million — making it the largest Powerball jackpot this year, and the biggest since last December’s colossal $1.817 billion prize.
The prize is also the eighth-largest in Powerball history.
