Biggest jackpot in history: $1.4 BILLION

The Powerball jackpot increased to $1.5 billion Tuesday morning, and the drawing is still one day away. Lawson’s jackpot holds the record for the largest Lottery prize ever won in MI.

The jackpot is worth $930 million (£645 million) if a victor chooses an immediate cash payout instead of annual payments over 29 years, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.

The huge jackpot has forced many convenience stores to bring in extra clerks to keep lines moving, hoping that people wanting Powerball tickets will decide to also buy a snack or something else in the store. Officials reassess the jackpot estimate daily.

Disappointed you didn’t win the Powerball jackpot this weekend? Otherwise, the tickets must be bought in person.

Lottery ticket purchasers aren’t able to purchase Powerball tickets by clicking online, unless they live in IL or Georgia.

With all those lesser prizes added to the mix, buyers of 39 million tickets have won $349 million in prize money since November. Forever. You will sleep a lot better knowing you won’t lose money. I know you’re kept Cal as a way to guarantee a win, we say, well, why wouldn’t somebody do it already and plus there are 292 million combination out there.

The jackpot is so big that billboards in Texas and around the country have to advertise the price as $999 million because they’re not built to show billions. That’s a little short but if it gets to 1.5 to $1.6 billion, this is going to pay off and you can make your money back.
