As the elusive winning ticket remained undiscovered in Monday’s Powerball drawing, lottery officials reveal an estimated jackpot of a staggering $1 billion for Wednesday’s game.
This massive prize pool, akin to owning twenty-two Southern-style Beverly Hills mansions valued at $45 million apiece, marks the third-largest payout in Powerball history.

To put this colossal prize into perspective, a lucky winner could embark on an extravagant spending spree.
Possibilities range from acquiring a minor league baseball team, which can cost anywhere between $6 million to over $50 million, or purchasing a classic 2002 Benetti Felicita yacht moored in Marina Del Rey for nearly $5 million.
More audacious options might include a ticket to outer space, which can run from $450,000 on Virgin Galactic to a whopping $28 million for a Blue Origin voyage.
All these are easily within reach for Wednesday’s potential Powerball victor.
