Powerball jackpot rises to $334M, 12th-highest in history

6, 2016, the Powerball jackpot could reach $400 million dollars.

The prize hasn’t been this large since March 2013, when a New Jersey man won $338 million.

A lucky victor could walk away with £42 million this Wednesday as Britain’s biggest lottery jackpot ever climbs to a record high.

Meanwhile, the Virginia Lottery is preparing to create three new millionaires on Friday, when the winning tickets are drawn in Virginia’s New Year’s Millionaire Raffle. A 50-year old factory worker named Julie Leach was the big victor.

“It’s up there”, she said of the jackpot.

Because enormous jackpots like this one bring out lottery ticket buyers who might only play occasionally, we thought we’d give you some of the basics of buying tickets in MI.

Not believing she actually won the Powerball, Leach returned to work to have her coworkers verify her winnings.

The most recent major jackpot was in February 2015, when it climbed to $564 million. Four friends from Dumont split the $40 million payout. Pick 4 winners receive $5,000 for a $1 straight bet and the odds of winning are 1-in-10,000. She hopes those numbers come through for her again.

The ticket purchased in Linton was not the only victor in the area, according to the Hoosier Lottery.

The identity of the victor is unknown at this time, but the victor was able to match five of the six numbers in Wednesday night’s drawings.
