## Resource

Powerball’s $480 million jackpot went unclaimed after Wednesday’s draw—numbers were 5, 25, 36, 40, 48 with Powerball 3. But one Virginia player still cashed in $1 million for matching five whites. The jackpot’s climbing to $498 million next Saturday, July 18—with the cash option at $213 million. Odds? One in 292 million. But hey, two bucks gets you a shot, and with Power Play or Double Play add-ons, you might just hit the next big win. Check your numbers—your ticket could be the one that changes everything.
