A single Powerball ticket purchased in Maryland is worth $731.1 million.
After growing for four months with no big winner, the top prize — the sixth-largest in lottery history — was snagged Wednesday night. Still up for grabs is the Mega Millions jackpot, which has also been growing since September and is an estimated $970 million for the Friday night drawing.
For the owner or owners of the winning Powerball ticket, life is about to change dramatically. While the windfall opens up a world of possibilities, it also means leaving your pre-winner life behind.
