(Radio Iowa)- Now that the Powerball jackpot for tonight’s (Wednesday) drawing has climbed to ten digits for only the third time in history, Iowa Lottery officials are predicting a significant spike in ticket sales. The Lottery’s Mary Neubauer says sales typically leap on drawing days, but with the big prize at one-billion dollars, it’ll be an especially busy day for Iowa retailers. This is Powerball’s third-largest jackpot, following last year’s world record prize that topped two-billion dollars, and a one-and-a-half billion dollar jackpot in 2016.

Neubauer says some people may have been waiting for this moment to buy a ticket, delaying until the jackpot hits a certain size, as if 900-million is chump change. There hasn’t been a jackpot winner in Powerball since April 19th, with the jackpot growing for 38 straight drawings.
