Could Powerball jackpot top $1.58 billion record?

6 Tickets Sold In Minnesota In Monday's Drawing Are Worth $50,000 Each

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP/KVRR) – The fourth-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history could soar to the largest ever if no one wins the top prize in Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing.

The jackpot climbed to $1.2 billion after no one matched all six numbers Monday night to win the jackpot.

That makes 38 consecutive draws without a jackpot winner since the last person won the big prize on Aug. 3.

The jackpot didn’t go again last night but there were six ticket holders across Minnesota that won $50,000 each!

The winning tickets were bought in Baxter, Plymouth, Virginia, Ramsey, Coon Rapids and St. Cloud.

The jackpot grows after every drawing without a winner and now is approaching the record of $1.586 billion won by three Powerball players in 2016.

The second- and third-largest prizes were hit by players of the Mega Millions lottery game.
