Powerball Lottery Overview: Powerball lottery officials recently took a little
heat as a result of the changes made to the price of a Powerball lottery ticket.
The price doubled from 1 dollar per ticket to two dollars per ticket.
Justification for the rise in price came via the larger jackpot. Although
officials were promising bigger and better jackpots, many players remained upset
over the increase, and some even vowed to stop playing the Powerball altogether.
In the days after the Powerball ticket price increase, the jackpot grew larger
and ultimately reached a climactic amount. Over this past weekend, the Powerball
jackpot reached its third highest mark ever. Droves of people were lured by the
extreme prize and as a result, just one lucky player will take home the jackpot.
Lottery officials relay that the winning ticket was sold in Rhode Island. The
specific location where the winner was sold is not yet being released. The one
time cash payment will be $210 million which officials state is the largest cash
payment ever for the game. If you are from Rhode Island and purchased a ticket,
double check the numbers. The winners on the 11th of February were 1-10-37-52-57
with the Powerball being 11. Genny Germano
