Feeling Lucky? Powerball at $320M

Saturday's jackpot jumps $60M from Wednesday.

The New York Lottery today announced the jackpot for Saturday's Powerball drawing has been increased to $320,000,000.

The $60,000,000 jump from Wednesday’s advertised jackpot is due to brisk sales across all participating Powerball states.

The new jackpot marks the sixth largest Powerball jackpot in the game's 20-year history. The largest Powerball jackpot to date was $587.5 million, won in Arizona and Missouri in November 2012.

If no one matches all five numbers plus the Powerball in Saturday night’s drawing, the jackpot will continue to grow.

Chris Rock said it best, African Americans are shown more 'love' for doing a 'bid' and getting outRead More of prison than to graduate school with a degree. When this 'hood mentality' starts to change, then you will see more than a trickle of AA passing advanced math courses.
