California Lottery Believes in Powerball—Despite Odds and Taxes

Californians won over $2.5 billion in lottery money last year, but courtesy of a unanimous vote of California’s Lottery Commission, we now have Powerball too. With six of the 10 biggest jackpots in the country, Powerball super-sizes the Golden State.  Forget SuperLotto Plus and Mega Millions. A $2 Powerball ticket competes for $40 million, an amount going up $10 million for each drawing without a winner. See Powerball added to California lottery lineup.
