The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.3 billion, marking it as the fourth largest in the game's history and tying a record for the longest stretch without a winner. This increase comes after 39 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, spanning more than three months. Initially reported at $1.23 billion, it became the eighth largest jackpot in lottery history before reaching $1.3 billion. The next drawing is scheduled for Saturday night. While the majority of lottery tickets are still purchased in person, the emergence of lottery apps in more states could potentially change this trend. The winner has the option between a lump sum of approximately $608.9 million or an annuity worth the full jackpot amount, both figures before taxes.
