STILL TIME TO GET TICKETS: It’s not too late to grab tickets for Saturday’s Powerball drawing if you want a chance to win the biggest jackpot ever. What to know here:
At $1.6 billion, this Powerball jackpot is the largest lottery prize ever. It’s expected to break records set in 2016, when a $1.586 billion prize was split between three winners in California, Florida and Tennessee.
No one has hit all six numbers since August, making for 39 consecutive draws without a jackpot winner. The winless streak is a product of the abysmal odds of winning: just one in 292.2 million. It's not great odds, but someone always win eventually, and locals are buying tickets as they picture what they'd do with all that cash.
“Pay off my parents’ house and just take care of them and probably buy a couple properties up in Maine and New Hampshire.” said Tyler, who was playing at a local establishment.
