Powerball jackpot, largest ever, now $900 million

The jackpot is $165 million for Friday night’s drawing and while it’s a small one compared to the massive $800 million Powerball jackpot, it’s more than enough money to make life very comfortable.

“The excitement is growing tremendously statewide and across the nation for this historic jackpot on Saturday night”, Florida Lottery Secretary Tom Delacenserie said in a press release.

“Everyone’s different. Some people will enjoy this five minutes in the spotlight”, Jason Kurland, an attorney for three Greenwich, Connecticut, wealth managers who split a $245 million Powerball prize in 2011, previously told NBC News.

Since Nov. 4, the Powerball jackpot has grown from its $40 million starting point as no one has won the jackpot.

Officials say that if no one wins on Saturday, the next jackpot will be $1.3 billion.

How to win the Lottery With a record breaking $800 million prize on the line, we look at what you need to do if you want to win the Powerball lottery.

The Powerball lottery is an American game played in 44 States, Washington D.C., and two U.S. territories: Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The largest jackpot in United States history got even biggest Saturday when the Powerball jackpot reached $900 million or a $558 cash prize.

Marquis’ explanation for the increase agreed with what Hinze had already witnessed: the big jackpot was drawing people who don’t normally buy tickets.

“It was a Friday morning like I’ve never seen before”, she said.

Most people said they’d save a little for themselves, but donate most of it.

All the excitement by ticket buyers came despite what some statisticians call mind-boggling odds for the Powerball game – one in 292 million.

A regular ticket costs $2 – about the same as a gallon of gas.

If a non-U.S. citizen wins the lottery they are subject to federal withholding taxes for non-U.S. citizens, which is 30 per cent of their winnings.

“If I win it I’m going to buy a new set of race horses and hopefully buy a Kentucky Derby Winner”, Clyde Yamada said. Be aware that marking the Power Play option on your playslip will select this option for all the tickets you intend to buy.
