Feeling Lucky? Powerball Tickets Now Available in Local Stores
Lottery players now have three games that can make them millionaires.
Powerball is here.
The long-awaited debut of the multi-state lottery game and its bank-busting jackpots arrives this morning when California Lottery machines begin selling Powerball tickets across the state.
The first drawing to include California will be on Wednesday for a jackpot estimated at $60 million, since nobody won Saturday night’s drawing. The minimum jackpot is $40 million.
