US, UK lotteries boast record jackpots this weekend after making it harder to win
Lottery fever has broken out in the United States as this weekend’s Powerball jackpot appears poised to break the $1b barrier for the first time in history.
Powerball has gone 18 drawings without a jackpot winner, making the estimated jackpot for Saturday’s draw around $700m as of Thursday. Observers expect the last-minute frenzy of fortune seekers could push the eventual prize over the $1b mark.
Whatever its eventual value, this weekend’s jackpot has already set a record for the largest prize in US lottery history. As it stands, anyone who correctly predicts all five numbers plus the Powerball would receive a lump sum payment of $428.4m before taxes.
The throngs of ticket buyers who presumably can’t be motivated to get off their flabby asses and venture down to the local 7-11 when the jackpot is a mere $100m or so have miraculously found the strength to walk upright. The Los Angeles Times reported sales in California went from $7m on Tuesday to $20m on Wednesday to $37m by 7pm Thursday.
