$825 MILLION: Powerball jackpot raised due to surging ticket sales
Still the 5th-largest lottery jackpot in US history, but cash value now 11th-biggest ever

Due to larger than expected sales volume, the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) has raised the official Powerball lottery jackpot estimate for Saturday's drawing to $825 million.
The all-important lump-sum cash value of the jackpot has been raised to $410.2 million.
The newly-increased jackpot amount still ranks as the 5th-largest ever recorded in United States lottery

Why Powerball and Megamillion ticket price remains $2 if starting price is NOT $40million
On March 25, 2020 they said due to Covid19 they had to roll back from $40 starting price to $20 million due to 'interest rate and ticket sales
BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ROLL BACK THE PRICE INCREASE OF A $1 AMOUNT ON EACH TICKET SALES. THE TICKET PRICE REMAINS THE SAME $2 ( So they think consumers can afford to give extra $1 at the time of Covid 19 and when unemployment number went through the roof? )
So, today is October 2022, Is Poweball and Megamillions ticket sales are down like in 2

I've been thinking about JPT. It's probably going to take a while before somebody hits the two million dollar jackpot, and if they take the cash option (most people have done exactly that) they probably will receive a prize of less than $1,300,000 before taxes....
Remember last Summer how it took a couple of months of rolldown drawings until the jackpot was won? The winner took the cash option and won $1,368,000 before taxes. I think the same thing is going to happen with this $2,000,000 ja

North Carolina woman wins $500,000 after entering lottery draw minutes before sales closed
Nothing in the story seems to have come from a lottery employee, so for all we know she bought the ticket at noon on Saturday at her local Piggly Wiggly.
That said, because the sales cutoff time is 10:58 you can tickets at 4 minutes to 11. There's a fair chance that she thought the drawing is at 11 and bought the ticket at 10:56. Or maybe she bought it at 10:54, saw a notice that said sales stop in 4 minutes and thought that meant the drawing was in 4 minutes.

The article states it was 4 minutes before sales closed and not 4 minutes before the drawing.

I doubt California will ever offer online sales. Although illegal, those that really want to do so with online casinos.

Maybe this will get the wheels turning and get rid of that stupid law preventing lottery ticket sales across state lines.
