Powerball’s massive jackpot will rollover and increase after Saturday’s drawing produced no winning tickets, according to the game’s website.
The $1.4-billion jackpot now grows to $1.55 billion but remains the third-largest in Powerball’s history (the second largest was $1.586 billion in 2016).
The last time someone won the Powerball jackpot after the July 19 drawing for the $1.08 billion pot. The winning ticket then was sold in California.
Didn’t they add another number to the Powerball which massively decreased the probability of winning?
Yup, all so that they could regularly have these massive jackpots, because a huge jackpot drives more sales of losing tickets.
