Powerball Jackpot Hits $156 Million for January 14 Drawing; Florida Ticket Wins $1 Million

The Powerball jackpot reached an estimated $156 million for the January 14 drawing after no ticket matched all six numbers on January 12. A Florida ticket won $1 million by matching five numbers. Winners can choose a 30-year annuity or a lump sum of about $70.5 million before taxes. Drawings occur three times weekly, with the next scheduled for January 14. Despite long odds of 1 in 292.2 million, interest remains high following a record $1.817 billion win in December.
