DES MOINES, Iowa — No one has won the big Powerball prize, so the
estimated jackpot now grows to $750 million — the fourth-largest lottery
jackpot in U.S. history.
The next drawing will be Saturday.
Wednesday
night's $620 million Powerball jackpot looked sort of puny given all
the attention lavished on the $1.537 billion Mega Millions jackpot won
in South Carolina on Tuesday.
Only three lottery jackpots have
been larger than this Powerball, but with two giant prizes in one week,
it's hard not to compare.
No one has won the Powerball jackpot since Aug. 11, when a man from Staten Island, New York, won $245.6 million.
This
story has been corrected to show that only three lottery jackpots have
been larger than the next Powerball prize, instead of five.
