Powerball jackpot jumps to $758 million

During Wednesday’s busiest stretch from about 5-6 p.m., Powerball tickets were selling at more than $7,800 per minute in Iowa.

Those who want a shot at taking home a piece of the massive sum, no matter how unlikely, will need to purchase a ticket soon. However, they issued a correction Thursday morning. Do you have your ticket ready?

The winning ticket for Wednesday’s $758.7 million Powerball jackpot was sold in MA, lottery officials have confirmed.

Someone in MA hit the jackpot Wednesday night – the second-biggest lottery jackpot in USA history.

There is one ticket that remains a mystery and is the largest amount ever to be unclaimed in Georgia- was $77 million in 2011 in Tallapoosa.

“Seven-hundred million is certainly life-changing money”, Park said. He says if he wins, “Whew I wouldn’t be going on my lunch break to buy hot dogs”. “It’s fun. I would just like to help some people in need”.

“Pay my bills off”, said Rodney Brinkley. “I think that would be the thing to do”, he said. And whoever it is won’t get their hands on the full jackpot – lottery winnings are taxed like income. The jackpot now resets to $40 million. In recent years, East Lake Food and Liquor has sold winning lottery tickets of $68,954, $27,000, $24,000 and other high numbers, according to Sahi.

Talk about a million-dollar mistake!

“I would do a lot of good in the community”.

“They help the homeless, you know, they feed the community, you give back to those kind of people”.

The second-largest jackpot in history drew crowds across the country, and convenience stores in Wichita were no exception.

You can buy your ticket now for the next Powerball drawing on Saturday.
