Powerball Jackpot Breaks Record High

Lottery officials say the winning Powerball jackpot has reached an all time high, an estimated 425-million dollars. 

The Powerball jackpot was at 325-million, the fourth-largest in the game's history but since no one has claimed the prize, that amount increased.

Lottery officials have said they are unsure what effect the start of the Christmas shopping season will have on ticket sales, which normally pick up in the days before high-dollar drawings.
 
Recent Powerball winners include an Iowa couple that won a whopping 202-million on Sept. 26th. A week later, a Delaware resident picked all six numbers for a 50-million payday.

Numbers from last night's drawing were: 22-32-37-44-50 and Powerball 34. The next drawing will be Wednesday night.
