The current American Powerball (lower case ‘b’, btw) jackpot is sitting pretty at – wait for it – $725 million, or roughly R13,5 billion.
Shame, the winner was so enthralled that he kept his winning ticket under his mattress before he could make his way to the National Lottery Ithuba offices.
The most recent PowerBall winner believes that he and his wife received signs from God that he should buy a ticket.
