Frenzied sales in Kansas and nationally have swollen the projected Powerball jackpot to a record $800 million as players dream about instantly becoming exceptionally wealthy, officials said Friday.
No tickets matched all numbers in the Wednesday drawing, which bolstered interest in the Powerball lottery game's next drawing Saturday. The anticipated $800 million jackpot would be the largest in Powerball history and biggest jackpot in U.S. history.
