U.S. Powerball jackpot climbs to record-breaking $1.9 billion
Nov 6 (Reuters) – An already record-breaking U.S.
Powerball jackpot grew to a whopping $1.9 billion one after no
one secured a winning ticket in Saturday night’s drawing,
according to lottery officials.
The estimated $1.6 billion that was up for grabs on Saturday
had been the largest lotto prize ever offered, Powerball said.
To win the big prize, a player must guess all six lucky
numbers, including the final “Powerball.” The winning numbers
drawn on Nov. 5 were 28,45,53,56,69 and the Powerball 20.
The next chance for ticket buyers to clinch the jackpot will
be Monday’s draw, although they would have to overcome the steep
odds of 1 in 292.2 million to secure a win.
