After 35 drawings without a winner, the Powerball jackpot will hit $1.73 billion Wednesday, the second-largest in lottery history.
After 35 drawings in a row without a winner, Wednesday's Powerball jackpot has hit a new high of $1.73 billion, the second-largest in lottery history, according to Powerball officials. No ticket matched all six numbers drawn Monday night, but four tickets sold across the United States — including one in Orange County — matched the five white numbers for a $1-million prize. That lucky Southern California ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in Lake Forest, according to California Lottery officials.
The latest estimated jackpot ranks behind only the world-record $2.04-billion Powerball jackpot sold at an Altadena gas station in November. Joe Chahayed, the owner of Joe's Mobile Station in Altadena that sold the historic ticket, said sales have skyrocketed since November, and especially in the last few days. 'Yesterday we had a line all the way to the street,' Chahayed said Tuesday morning. Just Monday alone, he said the store sold more than 5,500 lottery tickets.
