Powerball Winner Hits 3rd Biggest Jackpot in History!

If you were wondering why you should play the lottery, this story is exactly why!

News sources have revealed that a lottery ticket sold in the state of Wisconsin won $768.4 million, the third-largest jackpot in U.S. history. The winning Powerball ticket matched 5 numbers and an additional Powerball.

The winning numbers for this draw were 16, 20, 37, 44, 62, and 12 (the Powerball).

The 768.4 million prize is only second to two other jackpots in history. The first is a $1.586 billion jackpot won by 3 winners from California, Tennessee, and Florida, and a 1.537 Mega Millions jackpot won by a single winner from South Carolina.

The win was so monumental that Powerball Product Group chairman David Barden announced publicly that “A jackpot of this size can make many dreams come true – not just for the winner, but for all Lottery beneficiaries and the lucky state of Wisconsin.”

We agree! After all, nothing can make your dreams come true like a jackpot of this size!
