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.
… even with tax you walk home with around 700 million. Is that a bad amount
When someone calls it an idiot tax they mean the actual $2 tickets themselves, not the winnings.
“Idiot tax” doesn’t refer to the taxes taken from lotto winnings.
It refers to the money wasted on the minute chance of winning. So minute that only stupid people pay it. Stupid tax.
