Powerball Reaches Record High

The Powerball jackpot is expected to hit its highest-ever record of 425-million dollars for this Wednesday night's drawing.
Nebraska Lottery officials expect very brisk sales this week. Lottery spokesman Terry Rich says a prize this big will lure in people who've never-before spent a dollar on a Powerball ticket.  It seems a lot of people think 425 million could make them happy.
This week's projected jackpot exceeds the previous record of 365-million which was won in February of 2006 by a group of eight workers at a Lincoln, Nebraska, meat packing facility.
