Powerball Jackpot Hits $1 Billion | Chicago News

from Chicago News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Powerball just hit a jaw-dropping $1 billion jackpot—the 8th largest in history and the biggest of the year so far. Cash value? $433 million before taxes. Last time someone won this much? December’s $1.82 billion Arkansas ticket. Sales spiked 86% after last draw, even drawing UK players since tickets launched there in July. No one won big on Monday, but Tennessee took home $2M, California and Maryland each snagged $1M, and 14 others scored $150K. Your odds? One in 292 million. Next drawing: 10:59 PM ET.
