Monday Night’s Powerball Jackpot Worth $747M

I woke up this morning to check to see if I was a multi millionaire.  Unfortunately, I did not have any matching numbers, so I put on a pot of coffee and got ready for work!  Last night there was a winner - one lucky person from Washington State.  The jackpot for Monday night's Powerball drawing has grown to $747 million -- making it the fifth-largest jackpot in the game's history, officials say. The new figure comes after no one matched all six numbers Saturday, marking the 33rd consecutive drawing without a big winner. The last time someone won the jackpot was November 19th, when a Kansas resident scored $92.9 million. The biggest payout in history occurred earlier that month, when someone in California won $2.04 billion, Powerball officials say. If the winner of Monday's jackpot opts to take it in one lump sum, he or she will bring home $403.1 million.
