No Winners in $524 Million Powerball Jackpot

People across the country bought a chance at the biggest prize in almost a year.

The jackpot also stands to be the sixth-largest prize in Powerball history. “And then the rest would go into real estate”. The tickets were purchased in North Carolina, Puerto Rico and Texas. “They make sure before that ticket is printed you get what you’re asking for”.

Since someone already won $1 million at this place, people from out of the area are coming to get their Powerball tickets.
