Powerball swells to over $1B in second-largest drawing of the year

Go ahead and put that Lamborghini on your Christmas wish list.

More than $1 billion is up for grabs in Saturday’s Powerball drawing as the lottery continues to stumble through its 41 draws winless streak.

The whopping $1.08 billion jackpot is the second largest of this year, following only the $1.787 billion Powerball that two lucky winners split back in September.

That’s enough cash to buy more than 1,250 Revuelto Lamborghinis or one and a half of Bill Gates’ sprawling $645 million ultra yachts.

The US Lottery jackpot swelled to over $1 billion with a cash value of $461.3 million after Wednesday’s drawing came and went without a victor.

The winning numbers will be revealed Saturday at 11 p.m.

The Powerball has surpassed the mouth-watering sum dozens of times in the last decade, the first of which was back in 2016 when a $1.586 billion tickets were sold in a Los Angeles-area convenience store, a Florida supermarket and a Tennessee grocery store.

Edwin Castro remains the biggest winner ever after taking home the record-breaking $2.04 billion Powerball win in 2022.
