Powerball fever is sweeping the nation as the jackpot soars to $1.7 billion, the third-largest in U.S. history! With odds stacked at 1 in 292.2 million, hopefuls are buying tickets for Saturday's drawing, the 42nd consecutive without a winner, a new record. The lucky winner faces a life-altering decision: a $1.7 billion annuity or a $770 million lump sum. While chasing the billion-dollar dream, over six million players won smaller prizes in the last drawing, proving everyone has a shot at some cash. Hosted on Acast.
