And finally…America awaits £1.3 billion lottery jackpot winner

lottery-numbers-1338354713An American lottery is now offering the world’s richest grand prize to a single ticketholder.

The multi-state Powerball lottery’s jackpot now stands at $1.3 billion (£900 million) and is projected to surge higher by Wednesday night’s draw as hopeful Americans scrabble for more tickets.

The pot pushed higher when no ticket holder had the winning combination of six numbers selected during Saturday’s drawing, when the grand prize reached nearly $950 million.

To win the jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing, a ticket must have all six numbers correct.



The first five can be in any order but the sixth must be the Powerball number.
