Florida’s History Powerball Lottery

1.5 billion dollars is the earnings of this week’s Florida Powerball before taxes. That amount of money would make you richer than Taylor Swift, Madonna, or Michael Jordan. The reward is the highest jackpot in Lottery history. The second highest jackpot was $656 million, nearly one third of the jackpot being drawn on Wednesday.

The chances of winning are only 1 in 200 million, but that isn’t stopping Floridians from buying tickets in record numbers. The drawing will be at 11:00pm tonight.
