Lottery fever grows

Lottery fever is growing across the U.S.

There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery, pushing the estimated jackpot for Wednesday's drawing to $1 billion, the seventh largest U.S. lottery jackpot.

There were eight tickets sold with five numbers Monday, but missing the Powerball number, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.

The ones sold in Arizona, Georgia and Texas are each worth $2 million because the players utilized the Power Play option, where for an additional $1 per play, a ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, is worth $2 million.
