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.

    I completely agree.

    But most lotto ticket purchasers aren’t just buying them “here and there”.

    Try working a job that sells lotto tickets, then you’ll understand. It’s fucking sad as hell. More people than you would ever assume are pinning thier entire hopes and dreams on making it big without doing anything to earn it, while throwing away the present completely, along with any real chance of being content within thier means.
