Powerball’s massive jackpot will rollover and increase after Saturday’s drawing produced no winning tickets, according to the game’s website.
The $1.4-billion jackpot now grows to $1.55 billion but remains the third-largest in Powerball’s history (the second largest was $1.586 billion in 2016).
The last time someone won the Powerball jackpot after the July 19 drawing for the $1.08 billion pot. The winning ticket then was sold in California.
Personally I’d be far more interested in the lottery if we lived in a post scarcity society, where people’s needs are guaranteed to be met instead of the poorest people desperately trying to get out of poverty
