How To Find The Luckiest Places To Play The Lottery In Northern Colorado
Sure, your chances of winning the lottery are slim - but if you don't play, you'll never have a chance to win.
Whether you play the lottery religiously, on occasion, or perhaps, not at all, now is not the time to pass up on the opportunity to win one of the largest jackpots in lottery history.
Why?
The Powerball jackpot is currently sitting at over one billion dollars (yes, with a B).
How did we get here?
Well, during the last Powerball drawing on Monday, Oct. 3, not a single ticket matched all six winning numbers to claim the preceding $1 billion jackpot.
When the winning jackpot numbers aren't selected in their entirety, the jackpot grows - and boyyyyyy has it grown.
The jackpot for the next Powerball drawing - which happens Wednesday, November 2 at 9 p.m. - is now estimated at a whopping $1.2 billion.
Wednesday’s jackpot has grown to be Powerball’s largest prize in more than six years.
Not to mention, if a player wins Wednesday’s jackpot, it will be the second-largest jackpot in Powerball history, only behind the world record $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot, the fourth-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.
