"Powerball Frenzy: Jackpot Soars to $765 Million, Tips for Winners as Excitement Builds"
The Powerball jackpot has soared to $760 million for the final drawing of the year, with no winners in the last two months. The previous jackpot of $1.76 billion won on October 11 in California remains unclaimed, and the winner has one year to claim it or the funds will go to California public schools. The upcoming drawing offers a lump-sum option of $383.6 million, making it the sixth largest in Powerball history. Powerball tickets are $2 and drawings are held three times a week, with the next one on Saturday night.
