Jackpot Exceeds Billboard Space

Lotto too big Atlanta billboards

It has been growing exponentially over the last week, and now the Powerball jackpot is too big to fit on the numeric billboard.  Currently, the jackpot stands at $1.4 billion, but is sure to grow even more as, against all odds, people continue to snap up the $2 tickets, in hopes of winning the record breaking payout.  This is the largest payout of any lotto game in U.S. history, beating 2013’s record amount of $590.5 million.  That jackpot was paid to a single winner in Florida.
