Powerball Jackpot Surges Toward $1B: Frenzy Builds Ahead of Weekend

Powerball jackpot - $950 M

The Powerball jackpot climbed to $950 million after no winning ticket was drawn Wednesday night. It’s now one of the largest prizes in U.S. lottery history, and ticket sales are expected to soar through the weekend as Americans chase the dream of a life-changing windfall.

The staggering prize comes with odds of just 1 in 292 million, yet history shows jackpots of this size ignite coast-to-coast buying sprees—often boosting state revenues earmarked for schools and infrastructure.

That’s all for now. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got an errand to run.
