Mississippi residents to expect an increase in lottery jackpot prize
MISSISSIPPI (WCBI) – The possibility of a big jackpot is driving an even bigger jackpot.
Since no one won Monday’s $1.1 billion prize in the Powerball, there has been increased interest in the nationwide lottery.
The increase in ticket sales has driven tonight’s jackpot up to $1.4 billion.
The Powerball jackpot has been climbing since May 31, when a California player last hit for $204.5 million. Since then, 40 straight drawings have rolled without a jackpot winner.
The cash option is just over $634 million.
Remember, you can catch the Powerball Drawing live tonight on WCBI’s News at 10 pm.
