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.
Generally the big culprit there is the scratch-off stuff you see at gas stations.
Powerball, due to the delays in reward processing, is not as “addictive” as scratch-off/peel-off gambling.
True, but I just don’t think we should incentivize funding amazing programs with money sources primarily funded by the underprivileged day dreaming of a better life. It just seems sad.
Hardcore “I’m 14 and this is deep”
Unfortunately for your world views, no. I’m 28 and able to engage in empathy for the plight of my fellow man. Sad you’ve gotten that used to callous realities.
