How big does a jackpot have to grow to catch mass media attention? Apparently $360 million is enough, as the US Powerball top prize became the latest hot topic to set major news and social media outlets buzzing with excitement. As there were no winners on Wednesday night, the popular American lottery announced a $475 million minimum jackpot that is now a $600 million minimum jackpot for this Saturday's draw. Get your ticket online today to avoid missing out!
You don't have to be a lottery expert to know that $600 million is a life-changing lottery prize! After taking off from a starting sum of $40 million and rolling over a total of thirteen times, each unclaimed jackpot since April 3rd has added at least $10 million to the next US Powerball draw—and now the top prize is even growing between draws!
The estimated jackpot for this Saturday's Powerball draw now stands at $600 million and some quick calculations will reveal that the intra-draw increases have themselves been growing! In fact, the most recent jump was worth more than Friday’s Mega Millions $190 million jackpot – $115 million before ticket sales were taken into account and a total of $240 million by current estimates. This enormous leap comes close on the heels of $90 million and $48 million increases in the prize pool between earlier Powerball draws.
