Powerball jackpot resets after $1.7 billion win
A lucky Powerball ticket sold at a Big’s service station in Fredericksburg, Texas, which is about a 230-mile drive southwest from Fort Worth, was one of two that hit the $1.787 billion jackpot last week and will split the near-record prize.
According to the national Powerball website, the jackpot then reset to an estimated $20 million, with a cash value of about $9.2 million.
After no one won Wednesday’s jackpot, the prize will climb to an estimated $50 million in the drawing on Saturday, Sept. 13.
