The $1.4-billion jackpot now grows to $1.55 billion but remains the third-largest in Powerball's history .

“All of these things have been engineered by the lottery associations to give you super exciting billion dollar lotteries,” he said. Matheson also said both Powerball and Mega Millions have transcended state lotteries to become national phenomena, which helps the goal of rolling over each drawing's jackpot by spreading the chances of a winning ticket over a wider, coast-to-coast population instead of just one state's.
