The Powerball jackpot for tonight’s (Wed) drawing has gone up again to 500-million dollars, the fourth-largest in Powerball history and the sixth-biggest U-S jackpot ever. The Minnesota State Lottery’s Debbie Hoffman says tickets have being selling at the rate of about 81 thousand dollars per hour, “so we’re seeing some really good sales.” Hoffman reminds Minnesotans even if you don’t land the big jackpot there are nine ways to win, so double-check your Powerball ticket.
