Saturday's Powerball Jackpot Reaches $550 Million

What would you do with $550 million dollars?

That’s the jackpot for the Saturday night drawing of Powerball, the newest game from the California Lottery.

And Baldwin Park is a lucky place to buy tickets. Just some weeks ago a Powerball ticket worth $ 280,630 was sold at Jay's Market in Baldwin Park.

In the history of Powerball, the highest jackpot reached $587.5 million, making this Saturday’s jackpot the second highest. According to the CA Lottery, the Powerball jackpot could get even higher before the drawing. Just a year ago, the Mega Millions jackpot reached $656 million. 

The Powerball game is played in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
