Richmond, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - The Powerball jackpot has been growing through 30 consecutive drawings without a winner, and Saturday's upcoming drawing has been generating excitement across the Commonwealth.
The jackpot is currently an estimated $960 million. The Virginia Lottery says it's seeing strong ticket sales on its website, app, and at more than 5,300 retailers that sell Powerball tickets across the state.
Recently, a woman passing through Cape Charles on the Eastern Shore bought a ticket at Sting-Ray's and won a million dollar prize. She matched five of the six numbers, winning Powerball's second prize of one million dollars.
