Powerball’s massive jackpot will rollover and increase after Saturday’s drawing produced no winning tickets, according to the game’s website.

The $1.4-billion jackpot now grows to $1.55 billion but remains the third-largest in Powerball’s history (the second largest was $1.586 billion in 2016).

The last time someone won the Powerball jackpot after the July 19 drawing for the $1.08 billion pot. The winning ticket then was sold in California.

    Not really, they added an extra number to the lottery so that people would be even less likely to win, which leads to larger jackpot numbers. It’s a marketing ploy meant to trick more people into paying the stupid tax.
