Bismarck, North Dakota – Tonight may be a good time to buy a Powerball ticket if you’re feeling lucky. The drawing this evening has a massive $700 million jackpot up for grabs.
There wasn’t much of a crowd for the big jackpot at Lander’s Shell.
About 20 Powerball tickets were sold at the petrol station, and worker Dwight Offerman claims that the lesser attendance is due to the lack of publicity surrounding the size of the prize.
“A couple months ago, it just was nuts in here. People were coming in and buying 20, 30 tickets at a time. And I’m not seeing that this time around,” said Offerman.
Your chances of winning this year’s highest Powerball prize are 1 in 292.2 million.
