We’re closing in on a record here, people, as Powerball fever is starting to grip the world again. With tickets available online, the fever has hit, and publications as big as Huffington Post are even reporting on the mayhen.

Huffington Post reports:

The Powerball jackpot climbed to $250 million after no one matched the winning numbers in Saturday night’s drawing. The winning numbers were 3, 15, 27, 58 and 59, and the Powerball number was 20.

The next drawing in the multi-state lottery will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 21.

Although no one claimed the jackpot, there were five winners in Saturday’s drawing. One lucky player in Texas matched five numbers with the Power Play option, winning a prize of $2 million. Four other ticket holders in Florida, New York, Texas and Illinois matched five numbers and won $1 million each.
